Community Service Project Theme Paper Guidelines
When a student has completed the required hours of community service, he or she will write a three paragraph (minimum) theme paper of approximately 150 words. This theme paper will be submitted to the student's counselor for approval.
Suggestions for Developing the Theme Paper
Paragraph 1 - Describe what type of community service you performed. Tell where you performed your service.
Paragraph 2 - Tell what you learned from this experience. Tell what a typical day was like for you at the community service site.
Paragraph 3 - Summarize your community service experience. Comment on the value of your community service experience to your future plans
