Service
Service involves community or social service. It can include environmental and international projects. Service work would include volunteering at Shriner's Hospital , working on a Habitat for Humanity house, tutoring as part of an organized effort, participation in student government or service on community organizations or committees, working in a recycling program or organizing your own recycling project. Attendance at a religious service or any other religions program does not constitute a CAS activity. Be very careful. Ideally, your volunteer hours should be done for a non-profit organization. An attorney is not a non-profit organization unless it is the Commonwealth Attorney's Office.
Once again, these activities may not be done as a part of any class for which you are receiving credit or is graded for course credit, nor can it be anything done for pay.
Please be aware that tutoring a friend in chemistry or your little brother in algebra is not CAS unless it is part of an organized effort arranged by your teacher and is done with adult supervision. Remember: When in doubt, ask.
Note: These categories may overlap. You may use one activity in several categories, but you may not count the same hours twice. For example, if you dance 30 hours, you could use 15 hours toward creativity and 15 towards action. You could write one reflection that covers both areas, or write separate reflections.
