Summer SSL Opportunities

Summer is a wonderful time for students to engage in SSL opportunities and earn SSL hours towards meeting the 75-hour state graduation requirement! Student Service Learning Graduation Requirement (https://bit.ly/2026SummerSSL).

Middle school and high school students should continue earning SSL hours towards their SSL graduation requirement by engaging in SSL opportunities during the summer, including traditional in-person opportunities and select virtual/remote opportunities that follow the guidelines posted on the MCPS SSL webpage (www.mcps-ssl.org).

Current fifth-grade students may begin participating in SSL opportunities starting June 19, 2026!
