Community Service Refresher
To be considered an active for a given semester, 2 points are required
The 2 points you complete must be from two different events. You cannot use the same event for multiple points.
You may participate in events suggested by SNA or opportunities you find on your own if they are related to healthcare/nursing in some way
Email tcusnacommunityservice@gmail.com to ask questions about volunteer opportunities posted or if events completed on your own count as credit.
For each point opportunity you complete, please fill out the proof form (located under the “Proof Forms” tab). If you have proof to submit for multiple completed point opportunities, please fill out this form separate times for each individual opportunity.

Please see info on the right for more point opportunities! These activities are available semester long.
These volunteer opportunities, and other outside healthcare-related opportunities, will only count for one point for SNA. Your other point will have to come from an SNA-related point event. However, these volunteer opportunities are amazing experiences to get involved in regardless, and will help you greatly when it comes time to look for a job!
