Community Service

Community service projects are planned, organized and voluntary efforts designed to address a real need within the school or its community. Projects chosen by the student should reflect his or her personal interests and skills. In addition, worthwhile community service projects require an ongoing commitment on the student's part and should have a meaningful impact on the organization receiving the service and the community at large.

Graduation requirements

In order to graduate, Academy of Arts & Minds students must complete one 100-hour community service project. In addition to other requirements, these hours may be used towards the Florida Academic Scholars' certificate or the Superintendent's Diploma of Distinction. To ascertain whether you have met all of the requirements for these honors, please see the school counselor.

Eligible projects

Students may partake in a variety of projects in order to meet the 100-hour graduation requirement, with the approval of the School's Director and the Guidance Counselor. Projects may be completed at the school or in the community. Students may work as an individual and/or in a group, and must submit a Community Service Form upon completion of the project.
