As the current school year nears a close, spring break is a great time to complete community service hours, especially if they are required for graduation! Students, using your time off from school to make an impact in your communities, is a great example of demonstrating personal and emotional growth.

Looking for inspiration? Here’s our list of 12 service ideas students can do over spring break. Check your service guidelines to make sure these ideas will be approved toward your school’s goal.

**Use Your Skills**

Do you have a passion or a skill that can be used to help others? Using your skills is a great way to make a difference while also having fun! Here are a few examples:

1. Offer tutoring in a subject you excel in, for a friend or classmate.
2. Volunteer at your local library to read books to children or donate your old books!
3. Play an instrument in your local church band or sing in the church choir!
4. Host a bake sale and donate the money you earn to a charity of your choice.

**Spring Cleaning**

Utilize your free time during the break to stay organized and tackle spring cleaning around the house! You can donate whatever you don’t need!

1. Donate any clothes that you haven’t worn within the last six months.
2. Donate any toys, electronics, school supplies, or sports equipment that you no longer use, to a help a child or family in need.

**Serve Your Elders**

You may have a few elderly individuals who live in your neighborhood, that are no longer capable of maintaining their lawns and gardens on their own. You can offer to help them by:

1. Mowing their lawn for them.
2. Trimming overgrown bushes and trees.
3. Pulling weeds and raking sticks/leaves.
4. Planting flowers for their garden.

**Host Your Own Service Project**

A great way to get your friends, family and community involved in service is by hosting your own service project!

1. Connect with a local nonprofit, a local individual or group, and spread the word about your project! Coordinating your own service project to bring your community together demonstrates leadership, initiative and organization skills that can be highlighted in college applications through reflections on the Official Service Transcript.

**Opportunities in x2VOL**

Don't forget to check out the Opportunities section in your x2VOL account for additional service projects.

1. You can search for service projects posted by your school and local nonprofit organizations. Simply log in and navigate to the Opportunities section. Don't have x2VOL at your school? Check out our demo below and reach out to our team!

**What Do I Do When I'm Done Serving? **

Be sure to log your hours in your x2VOL account and write reflections on your experience. There’s so much to learn when volunteering – what did you learn about yourself? What did you learn about your community or group of people you were serving?

**Are You a Service Leader at Your School?**

If you are a service leader or admin at your school and you'd like to bring x2VOL to your school or district view our one-minute demo or [request pricing](https://trackservicehours.x2vol.com/pricing) and our team will reach out to you.
