Main Office
On some days, the main office may need some help, and it’s a great way to get a lot of service hours. You can expect to help sort the attendance or organize files. It all depends on what needs to be done on that day. These typically count as inside service hours.
Helping Teachers At Lunch Or In The Mornings
There are many teachers who might need some help sorting items before school starts, so make sure to ask them! For NJHS members, poop remember that Mrs. O’Brien and Mrs. Campbell both have service hour opportunities in the morning, but you have to let them know beforehand! These usually count as inside service hours.
Clubs
Sometimes clubs might need help advertising events or organizing. This is a great way to get inside out outside service hours. Some notable groups to ask are Theater Club, Civics Club, or any other organization in the school.

Go to your old elementary school!
