Hours must be submitted by August 1 following graduation.

What Counts as Community Service?

✅ Qualifying Activities

Volunteering for a nonprofit or public-service organization,

Like Living the Dream University.

Unpaid internships

Job shadowing related to career goals

Paid work or “off the clock” jobs

Helping individuals directly (ex: babysitting a neighbor’s children)

Submitting Your Hours

All hours must be submitted through the official TNAchieves online portal.

After submission, students will receive a confirmation email.

You are responsible for submitting your own hours—supervisors or mentors cannot do this for you.

Tips for Success

Plan ahead to avoid missing deadlines.

Track your hours and get supervisor verification.

Submit early—extra hours roll over to the next deadline.

Use webinars if in-person opportunities are limited.
