Ministry & Service Requirements/Guidelines/Procedures
Each student is required to perform 5 hours of ministry & service for each semester in which the student is enrolled at Destiny High School. This volunteer service requires and challenges students to assist in areas outside of the Destiny High School community and outside of their own immediate and extended families in a volunteer role that allows them to interact with people. Students may not miss any class time to complete this requirement. Destiny High School will have scheduled service days throughout the year. Students are required to attend all scheduled service dates. Completion of all ministry and service hours is a requirement for students to participate in the graduation ceremony.
To earn ministry & service hours, students are given the opportunity to select a non-profit, charitable organization in which they can offer direct service to other people. The student is responsible for choosing an appropriate ministry and site. Use the following guidelines in making that choice: ministry & service goes beyond family, friends, neighbors, Destiny High School, and the workplace.
