Service Learning
Connecting Classrooms with the Community

FCPS is documenting the successful completion of service learning projects for students in grades 6, 8, and 12.

Service learning:
Service learning is a teaching method that involves students in authentic and meaningful service to their communities, that provides structured time for reflection on the service experience and the demonstration of the skills and knowledge acquired. Connecting classrooms with the community provides a sense of civic responsibility by encouraging students to assess their impact on the community and their roles as active contributors to society.

Graduation
Students who participate in service learning and earn 10 hours per year for a total of 40 hours may be eligible for a service learning recognition cord at graduation.
**Students who earn 50 hours or more may earn the Virginia Board of Education diploma seal for excellence in civics education. Please see the ‘Graduation Seals’ tab for more information.

Suggestions for Activities
Activities can include helping senior citizens or sick or disabled individuals; working at soup kitchens; collecting or distributing food items or clothing; organizing fund-raisers for special causes or events; engaging in local conservation efforts; or working with local political organizations.

Planning Activities
Is my service…?

  • Meeting a real need in the community?
  • Thoughtful and well planned?
  • Bringing classroom learning to life?
  • Important to me?
  • Making a difference in the community?
  • A part of me that will continue to grow?

Current seniors wishing to receive a service learning cord must submit a completed application to their school counselor by Friday May 31st.

All other students please use the application to record your service hours each year and bring the completed application to your counselor once all of your hours are completed senior year and they will use the last page of the application to verify your hours.
