NHS Service Requirements

Congratulations on your acceptance to NHS! Here you can find information and forms regarding service hours and ISPs (available for download below).

Each semester, a NHS member must complete:

1) 15 hours of volunteer/community service (can be completed through school clubs)

2) One individual service project (4 hours) - involves volunteering with an non-school related organization
3) Quarterly service projects with NHS

A NHS Member can get a demerit for:

1) Missing an official club service project

2) Missing a meeting. You must notify the advisor, president or the secretary via email at least a day before the meeting (If there is a valid absence, it is up to the NHS member to clear their absence with the secretary ASAP)

3) Forgetting to wear their NHS Polo shirt on the day of a meeting or project (1/2 demerit)

4) Being more than 10 minutes late to an official project (1/2 demerit)

5) Failure to give prior notice for missing a service project. Notice must be provided by the given deadline via email to the advisor, president or the secretary. (1/2 demerit) (This means that for missing a service project without given prior notice by the deadline results in a total of 1.5 demerits).

For every demerit, a NHS member must complete a make-up ISP (4 hours). Half-demerits = 2 hours.
