Student Service Learning (SSL) Hours
Earn SSL hours while making a meaningful impact in your community
Student Service Learning (SSL) hours are a graduation requirement for Maryland public school students. Students must complete 75 SSL hours to graduate from high school, with at least 25 hours completed by the end of 10th grade.
SSL hours provide students with opportunities to engage in meaningful community service that addresses real community needs while developing civic responsibility and leadership skills.
CLARYN Foundation offers various volunteer opportunities that qualify for SSL hours. Students can participate in activities such as:
- •Food distribution and pantry assistance
- •Community garden maintenance and development
- •Health education workshops and outreach
- •Event planning and community organizing
- •Administrative support and data entry
Documentation
Students must complete an SSL form provided by their school and have it signed by a CLARYN Foundation supervisor. We will verify hours worked and provide necessary documentation.
Supervision
All volunteer activities are supervised by CLARYN Foundation staff members who can verify and sign SSL hour documentation.
Eligible Activities
Activities must be unpaid, benefit the community, and be supervised by an approved organization. All CLARYN Foundation volunteer opportunities meet these requirements.
