We had to participate in a Sophomore Service Project. Basically you chose one group to work with and you did community service with them for the year. Each organization had different requirements so it wasn't a set number of hours. I did my project with a group called Phone Friend, which was an afterschool help line for latch-key children. We read stories, told jokes, and were a friendly voice if a kid was home alone and scared.
At the end of the year we had to write a term paper on our experiences. We weren't required to continue working with our groups, but most people did.
