Tracking SSL Hours
Students will earn hour-for-hour the amount of time serving when they are directly supervised. All time serve for this opportunity will be under direct supervision.
Note: This opportunity is at the discretion of the parent/guardian. All volunteers must complete the waiver prior to serving. All virtual communications and sessions will be under our supervision. If one of our supervisors is not available, the virtual session will not occur. Students personal identity including their name/email and home address will be kept confidential and not shared. Students will engage in email and phone communications only with our nonprofit supervisors. Student must also use their personal/private accounts during virtual sessions, and not their MCPS accounts. Virtual sessions will not be recorded. Additionally, students cannot share photos, pictures, or videos of themselves unless we have obtained a signed form or waiver form the student's parent/guardian authorizing permission. Our organization will be responsible for posting, distributing, and circulating the created content. Lastly, we will not share any information about participants to any third parties.
Student participation in this service project is at the discretion of the student’s parent/guardian. The nonprofit organization is responsible for maintaining student safety and privacy at any time the student is interacting with the nonprofit and its clients. The nonprofit organization will determine the number of SSL hours awarded based on the evidence submitted. Parents/guardians should contact the nonprofit directly with any questions and/or concerns. This service activity is designed to be completed within the safety of the student’s home.
