Community Service

At North Carolina Cyber Academy, all high school students are required to complete 25 hours of community service with a nonprofit organization each year as part of their graduation requirements.

​This requirement supports the cultivation of civic literacy, which is actively participating and initiating change in one’s community. Research has shown that engaging in community service can enhance a myriad of skills, including problem-solving, collaboration, time management, communication, and leadership. Our students have shared that through their community service hours they have:

1. Developed a richer perspective of the world they live in.
2. Connected what they learned in school to the real world.
3. Helped decide on a future career.​

Ask yourself: How do you want your service hours to impact you? Find an experience that strengthens your weaknesses, further piques your curiosity, or challenges your thinking. Sky’s the limit!

*Before you begin serving, ask your parent/guardian for their approval of each experience you engage in.​​​​​
