How do I complete the community service information?

Describe how you have reached out to others and/or how you have been involved in your own community. Include an explanation of why you decided to serve/get involved, what you learned form the experience, and how it made you feel. Think in broad terms. There is a 200 word limit.

Next, describe how you have reached out to help others and/or how you have been involved in your own community. This could include any involvement in neighborhood, school, religious, social, professional, or other volunteer groups. You may also include any previous AmeriCorps experience you’ve had. Begin by listing your most recent activity first. Be sure to include the name of the organization, for which you volunteered, as well as the organization’s address and phone number. Then in the space provided, please provide a description (200 word maximum) of your service with such organization. Also be sure to include your dates of involvement including your starting and ending date, as well as the average hours per month you participated in the organization. If you need to enter more than one example, simply press "Add Another" located at the bottom of the page.

If you do not have any community service experience, check the "I Do Not Have Community Service Experience" box located at the bottom of the page and press "Next."
