Service for Full time Online Students

The Christian life includes acts of love and service to others.  Students will be provided opportunities to serve other people.

Service to Society Requirements:

1.    Every student (On-Campus, Blended and Full Time Online) will be required to complete a minimum of twenty (20) hours of Service to Society for each year of attendance at Orange Lutheran Online.

2.    Service to Society forms must be completed, signed by a site supervisor, and returned to the Service to Society Coordinator within a month of completing the listed service to ensure timely and accurate documentation. 

3.    Students and their families are encouraged to keep copies of all service records at home for future reference.

4.    Students may begin working on their upcoming school year’s Service to Society hours on the first Sunday following Orange Lutheran’s Commencement Service from the previous year. 

5.    Students will have until May 30 to return their completed Service to Society Form for the current school year to the Service to Society Coordinator.

6.    Failure to complete the required twenty (20) Service to Society hours will result in an incomplete grade.  A student receiving an incomplete will have three weeks to complete their service hours.  If a student fails to complete his/her hours during the three-week incomplete grace period, he/she will receive an incomplete mark on his/her transcript for that academic year.  Completion of Service to Society hours during this three-week grace period will result in a change from an incomplete to a complete mark on his/her transcript.

7.    It is Orange Lutheran’s prayer that students view the annual twenty (20) required Service to Society hours as a minimum benchmark of service.   Students completing more than the required Service to Society hours are encouraged to record these hours on the Service to Society Form.  Our expectation will be listed along with the actual number of service hours completed by the student for each year.

8.    Orange Lutheran recognizes and honors students who have done exemplary service to their community both in the amount of time given and in the character of that service.  This recognition usually takes place at the Awards Night ceremony.

9.   If you live in the Orange County, California area, five (5) of the twenty (20) hours will involve participation in one Lutheran High School Service Day event each year.

a.    Freshmen and Sophomores participate in the 1st Semester Service Day.
b.    Juniors and Seniors participate in the 2nd Semester Service Day, known as “Day of Dreams.”
c.    Students will be responsible for making the appropriate arrangements to complete their remaining fifteen (15) hours of Service to Society.
