Write reviews for your favorite books. Receive volunteer/community service hours to count towards graduation requirements, National Honor Society requirements and more!
To start, simply choose a book to read. We would prefer that you select a book from our collection, but feel free to choose any book that you feel strongly about. Next, write a compelling, well-written review of the book that you chose. Try to aim for 200-400 words, or approximately two paragraphs. Incomplete or un-edited work will be sent back to the submitter to be re-done. Please note that your review doesn’t have to be positive, so just be honest.
Make sure you have submitted your Volunteer Application and background checks in order to qualify for community service hours. Email these to hholst@mclinc.org. Finally submit your work via this Google Form.
Each review is worth 1 volunteer hour. Once your review has been posted, you will receive the volunteering credit.
NO BACKGROUD CHECKS REQUIRED IF YOU ARE 17 YEARS OF AGE OR YOUNGER!
Attention: Please complete a Volunteer Application before submitting a review. Links for this can be found at the end of this Google Form. Minimum age to participate is 14. If you are 14-17 years old, just submit the volunteer application. Anyone age 18 and older must also complete the following:
- PA State Police Criminal History Clearance (PCHC)
- PA Child Abuse History Clearance (CAHC).
- FBI Background Check or Disclosure if you've lived in the state for 10+ years.
- Mandated Reporter Training.
These are free for volunteers 18 years of age or older. Due to high demand, we cannot guarantee that we can accommodate everyone. Those seeking volunteer hours for the National Honors Society should consider having one or more backup locations in order to obtain all required hours. Hours are first come, first served, so submit your applications as soon as possible!
