REMINDER: Volunteer Hours
REMINDER: Every DeBakey student must have at least 100 community service to graduate with a DeBakey diploma.

Guidelines for Community Service Hours >>
- Every DeBakey student must have at least 100 community service to graduate with a DeBakey diploma. Remember, colleges look at the community service and how you give back to your community when choosing a candidate to accept into their school.
- When hours served are not with an organization or club at DeBakey, you have three options for reporting hours:
- Letter on letterhead from the location where you served giving the dates served, total hours, your name, and signed by the person responsible for you when you served.
- Certificate from the organization with the dates served, total hours, your name, and signed by the person responsible for you when you served.
- A DeBakey verification form with a business card attached from the person who signs the form for you.
- If you receive a certificate for your service, make sure it has the above information as well as the physical address and phone number of the location. If it does not, please include a business card with the address and phone number of the location.
- Every person is responsible for his/her own hours even when serving with a group or a club from DeBakey. Turn in your own verification forms in person to Mrs. Niaves in Room 123.
- Make copies of all verification forms that you turn in for credit. Give the copies to Mrs. Niaves and keep the originals at home in a safe place. I can not provide copies to the students when you need to submit them to colleges or scholarships. YOU NEED TO KEEP A COPY OF ALL YOUR VOLUNTEER HOURS!!!!!
- It is a good idea to turn in verification forms at the end of each semester. Don’t wait until the yearly turn-in-date!
- Please write your year of graduation at the top of every verification form that you submit.
- If you have any question about what an acceptable type of service is, contact Ms. Niaves. Room 123.
- Talk with Ms. Niaves personally before you do community service outside the Houston Metropolitan area.
- The first 75 hours must be done in Houston Metropolitan area. Give back to our community!
- All volunteer hours must be turned in no later than January of your senior year!
