    COMMUNITY SERVICE: GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS

    **Due to the impact of the pandemic on the accrual of community service hours, students within cohorts 2023 and 2024 are only required to earn 40 hours of community service to graduate.

    For students in cohorts 2025 and beyond, earning ½ of a Carnegie unit, or 75 hours of community service, is the requirement for graduation from Atlanta Public Schools.  To avoid procrastination, students in cohorts 2025 and beyond are strongly encouraged to complete a minimum of 20 community service hours per school year for three years, and complete 15 community service hours during the fourth and final year of high school (for a total of 75 hours over a four-year period).

  • COMMUNITY SERVICE: 2022 -2023 GUIDELINES

    APS students and families are encouraged to reference the 2022-2023 Community Services Guidelines that are effective December 1, 2022.  These guidelines serve as an aid to assist students in planning to meet the service graduation requirement.  Students should consult with their school counselor if they have questions related to the guidelines or service opportunities.

  • COMMUNITY SERVICE: TRACKING

    To aid students and schools in the tracking and monitoring of community service hours, the district has partnered with MyVoluntier. MyVoluntier is the district-selected web application used to find, track, and mobilize individuals to better impact their communities. To view service opportunities and track service hours in real time, students may access MyVoluntier via the portal which is located within MyBackpack.
