Community Service Hours
Community Service hours are verified weekly/bi weekly at the end of each week.
When looking at your hours make sure the date under the number of hours on your MobileServe homescreen says "All Time". Also make sure you look at the pending hours as many of your hours might be there waiting for verification.
New requests for access to MobileServe are also processed once a week, usually on Fridays.
If you submitted a form and used the app last year, you have an active account and DO NOT need to submit another form. If you forgot your password please use the password recovery on the app.
Many answers to Community Service questions can be found here on the BHS website.
Parental Consent Forms are found here.
Students Assisting Students: Spring Semester Drive for Care Bags
Your support and generosity are greatly appreciated for our donation drive. We have donation drives twice a year to coincide with the Fall and Spring semesters. Please consider selecting any of the items posted on the SignUpGenius and to contribute to the 300 care bags that we will create and deliver to the five post-secondary campuses: Holyoke Community College, Middlesex Community College, Roxbury Community College, Springfield Technical College, and University of Massachusetts Lowell. The five campuses offer support services to struggling students, and they always appreciate our continuous support as a community.
If you are interested in volunteering on March 30 for care bag packing, please email us to sign up. All volunteers (all ages) are welcome! Additionally, any high school students looking to earn community service hours, please consider volunteering on our packing day. For more information, please visit our website.
