NEW Student Service Learning Guide

The Student Service Learning Guide For Students and Families has been updated for the 2018-2019 school year. Please refer to the important information included in the guide, including how to find community organizations and opportunities for SSL.

All SSL Forms for service completed any time during the current school year and the summer before the current school year are REQUIRED to be submitted to the school SSL coordinator no later than the first Friday in June.

*This award is given to students who meet the 75 hour graduation requirement during middle school and is only awarded once.

Summer Pre-Approval Requests

Nonprofit organizations that are not identified with a graduation cap  on the Montgomery County Volunteer Center website require pre-approval.

The MCPS Form 560-50, Individual Student Service Learning Request, must be submitted and approved by the school-based SSL Coordinator in advance of service. All pre-approval requests must be submitted in a timely manner. There is a two-week allowance for school-based SSL Coordinators to review the request for approval or denial based on compliance with MCPS SSL Program.
