A 329 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Authorizes board of education to establish community service credit program for high school students.

This bill allows New Jersey public school districts with grades 9-12 to create optional community service programs where high school students can earn elective credits toward graduation. Students would complete approved community service activities - such as with nonprofits, public agencies, or healthcare facilities - outside of school hours (evenings/weekends), without receiving pay or substituting employment. School boards would set the required hours and credit value for participation. The program applies to all eligible public high schools starting the first full school year after the bill takes effect.
