All students can be recognized for community service that is completed at a qualifying 501(c)3 non-profit organization outside of school hours. Please see important updates below to ensure that all community service is being completed and verified correctly:

1. Starting January 2026, students may document a maximum of 25 hours for time volunteered on campus at a Milford-affiliated 501c organization. To allow for equitable recognition of student service and to maintain strong partnerships with local organizations, any remaining documentation should reflect service completed outside of Milford Schools. A list of qualifying 501c organizations can be found here. 

2. As students complete hours, the Service Verification Form needs to be completed. Please print and fill out forms for each volunteer experience. The form needs to include a signature from a representative of the organization. Forms MUST be scanned to PDF and submitted digitally through the Google Form links below. Google Forms will be open for the 2026-2027 school year from September 1st, 2026 to January 8th, 2027. 

Students, please ensure that you are clicking on the form that pertains to your correct grade-level when you are ready to submit documentation:

1. Freshman (Class of 2030)

2. Sophomores (Class of 2029)

3. Juniors (Class of 2028)

4. Seniors (Class of 2027)

3. While this step is not mandatory, students are encouraged to create an account on InnerView using their school-issued email address. Through InnerView, a service resume can be generated and attached to college, employment, and internship applications.

The Milford Service Recognition Program benefits both students and Non-Profit community partners. The program allows Milford to focus on creating a culture of meaningful service within the district. Students in grades 9-12 will be empowered to find and engage in worthwhile and relevant opportunities that directly relate to classroom curriculum, student interests, career endeavors, and values important to the Milford community. 

All volunteer work at a qualifying 501c organization can be tracked over a student’s tenure at Milford High School. By tracking hours, Milford is able to recognize students with two levels of National Awards: The Jefferson Award and the President’s Volunteer Service Award. These prestigious awards allow Milford to celebrate the selfless work of our students and to ensure ongoing partnerships between the district and local community organizations.

When a student gives 20+ hours in one calendar year they will be recognized with The Jefferson Award.  

When a student gives 100+ hours in one calendar year they will be recognized with The Presidents Volunteer Service Award. Both awards are nationally recognized service awards and will be given each spring at the class awards nights.

Both awards are nationally recognized service awards and will be given each spring at the class awards nights. Also through Innerview.org, a Service Resume will be generated. Students are encouraged to attach this resume to college, internship, or employment applications.

Hours will be tracked for volunteer work at any Non-profit Organization. Go to this website to verify a registered 501c organization. Please take a Verification Form to the organization/activity for verification signature.  You may use one sheet for multiple dates at the same location, but you must get each individual date/time signed.
