What are some ACTION VERBS that address Community Service?

3. When is the Project due? ON or BEFORE May 16, 2014 !
When it's cold, animals and people eat more than when it's hot
Metabolic demands of people and animals increase with sickness or trauma, often in conjunction with anorexia. Sickness combined with anorexia leads to accelerated starvation.

4. When is Community Service project planning form due? (rough draft)
You will complete and submit the Community Service Project Planning form as a draft indicating progress towards your community service project.
Draft is due by March 4th.
Submit no later than end of day.
Failure to submit your neatly completed form will further forfeit your ability to earn full credit on your Community Service Project.
Do not let that happen. You have sufficient time to think about the project and begin. Many of your classmates are well on their way to completing their projects already.

Ask your teacher about the concept of a “working lunch”.
Remember, choose a project that you can complete given your time, effort and energy. Be thoughtful in your selection.

9. What are the requirements the project?
There is no threshold for the number of community service hours you should have.
You can go for quantity or quality.
Requirements for the project to be credited towards your graduation is minimum of 40 hours.
Having lots of hours will certainly look good, but having leadership role in your community service will look great even if you don't have that many hours. (Something to look at when applying to colleges and scholarships)
