Service Projects & Volunteer Hours

 

 

Service Project: (Need 2 Per Year)
A service project is a planned activity with some sort of commitment. It has to be done without pay, planned by the candidate or candidates group and take more than one meeting to complete. For example: shoveling the driveway for your neighbor once is not a service project. Committing to shovel the driveway for the winter without pay and without someone reminding you to do it for the winter season is a service project.
