Community Service
Service Seal on Diploma
Students who meet a minimum of 100 hours of independent service, service-learning, and/or a school-led service program during their high school years receive a notation on their transcript and a seal on their diploma.
Is Community Service Required?
No. LaGuardia does not have a community service requirement.
How do colleges view community service in my application?
Most colleges do a holistic review of your application. Holistic Review allows admissions committees to consider the “whole” applicant, rather than disproportionately focusing on any one factor.
Community service can be valuable during freshmen and sophomore years to provide a variety of experiences to students. If students do community service during their junior or senior year, it often is related to specific interests that are supported in an application. Whether community service is an area you should focus on, please have a conversation with your guidance counselor.
Keep in mind that many students at LaGuardia are not able to do community service as they do not have the time. Instead, they focus on studio and arts-related commitments.
