Service Learning Hours and Opportunities

Service Learning Hours and Opportunities

Students are required to complete 15 service hours PER grade attended within SPS as part of their high school graduation requirements*. For students in SPS for 9th-12th grades this is a 60 hour requirement in total.

*Students who complete the requirements for an IB Diploma can waive these service hours as the IB diploma meets all the requirements for a Washington State HS diploma. This is in accordance with RCW 28A.230.122.

Service Learning Form

Students must complete the Service Learning Form for hours to be recorded. Ingraham HS students do NOT need to complete the Reflection page. Turn this form into the Counseling Office or email Merrily Matthews, Ingraham’s Counseling Secretary at mqmatthews@seattleschools.org.

Honor Cord for 120 + Service-Learning Hours 

Ingraham has a purple honor cord awarded at graduation for students that achieve 120+ service-learning hours in their high school career. Students should continue to turn in their service-learning hours to the Counseling Office even after they have fulfilled the 60-hour requirement to achieve this new honor cord. Only hours turned in by the end of May will count towards these totals.

Service Learning Opportunities

Ingraham is often notified of Service Learning Opportunities in our community. Come back to this page often to see what opportunities are available.

UW Botanic Gardens Service Hours

I am reaching out on behalf of UW Botanic Gardens to let you know that applications for our Junior Naturalist program are now open!

Junior Naturalists are teens volunteering with the Arboretum Summer Camp for a two-week session. We’re looking for individuals who are enthusiastic about working with kids, playing outside, and gaining leadership skills. Students can earn up to 75 service hours, and will receive a letter of recommendation upon successful completion of the program.

Applicants are accepted on a rolling basis, and the application will close when space is filled (usually late Spring).

Please feel free to share this information with interested/eligible students! I have also included a flyer with additional details. A direct link to the application can be found: here.
