The School Board of Broward County, Florida has incorporated Service Learning and volunteer service into the high school graduation requirements. Any student who wishes to earn a standard diploma must meet the graduation requirement of 40 documented hours in the Student Volunteer Service Program. The website bcps.browardschools.com/schools/service_learning.htm will allow access to the rules governing exactly what will be accepted as service learning/volunteer service hours and what won’t, the log sheets necessary to document hours and the Service Application and Approval Form (used when a student is not performing a service as part of
a school sponsored organization).
