Earning Service Hours Outside of the Rutgers and New Brunswick Communities
An additional opportunity means that a maximum of 15 hours of service done outside of Rutgers and the New Brunswick/surrounding communities (Highland Park, Piscataway, North Brunswick, East Brunswick) can count toward a student's 30 total hours of community service. You may count up to 15 hours of service over the summer during your tenure as an Honors College student (but not as an incoming Honors College student who has not yet begun college). Examples include working with a Habitat for Humanity affiliate in your hometown, tutoring at your high school, or volunteering with your town's church. To verify whether an opportunity will count as service, you may contact HCServes@echo.rutgers.edu. In order for these hours to count, the service work cannot be paid and the work must involve direct meaningful service to the community.
Remote Service Opportunities
A majority of remote service opportunities (unless otherwise stated) will count towards a student's "Additional Opportunities" service hours. The HC Serves Team has provided a full list of Remote Service Opportunities for students and future suggestions can be submitted to HCServes@echo.rutgers.edu.
