Hi! I am the Vice President of my school’s chapter of National Honor Society. As one of my duties, I oversee service projects. I was wondering if any of you could offer insight to how your school’s NHS runs service project because I would like to revamp ours.
I think ours offers tutoring to underclasspeople.
Not totally sure what you mean, but we run tutoring during the school day, volunteer to help for stuff around the school (like a cleanup or setting up for an event), and work with organizations in the area (small local ones and larger ones like Salvation Army).
They way this stuff works is we decide on a project/contact an organization to see how we could help then create an online (Google Classroom) post giving general information such as times, dates, and requirements, and attach a form people can use to sign up.
Hope that helped.
Ours requires each student to do something that isn’t connected directly to the school. Tutoring is done my NHS members but it isn’t something organized by them since it has been going on for years. It is just expected that all NHS members volunteer a few hours of tutoring in their strong subjects. Beyond good grades, no problem behavior, and tutoring, in order to where a NHS sash at graduation each student (individual or group of 2 to 3) needs to do a project that benefits others.
Some projects done in the past - showing a movie for $2 a ticket with all proceeds going to help poor kids in Cambodia, having a dance contest that somehow raised money which was given to the local food pantry, arranging to tutor for free for families in homeless programs, having a booth at a multicultural festival charging for henna tattoos and the money going towards a group like Easter Sales, running a Halloween party for young adults with disabilities
