“Each one of you has received a special grace. So like all good stewards, responsible for all these different graces of God, put yourself at the service of others.” 1 Peter 4:1

Why Service?

As a Lasallian school, Saint John Paul II Academy is rooted in the Gospel call to serve others. Our Christian Service Program helps students grow in faith by putting that call into action, developing a deeper understanding of their responsibility to serve those most in need.

What is Service?

Christian service is the use of our God-given gifts to help others. Service must be freely given and cannot be compensated. All service should be completed through nonprofit organizations, churches, schools, or service groups. Students are encouraged to seek approval from Campus Ministry if they are unsure whether a project qualifies.

Where can you Serve?

Students may choose where they serve, provided the organization and activity meet school guidelines. Service is completed independently in the community, and students assume responsibility for their chosen locations.

Christian Service Requirements

Students must complete 25 service hours each year to meet graduation and Florida Bright Futures requirements.

• At least 6 hours must be direct service to the poor or marginalized
• Students completing 100+ hours in a year are recognized at the Academic Awards Program

How do I log my service hours?

Service hours are logged through MobileServe via the app or at mobileserve.com. Students must include all required details, including organization, description, supervisor information, and a photo. Submissions are reviewed by Campus Ministry and may be returned if incomplete.
