School Service Hour Requirement Assistance

Students looking to complete a service hour requirement for school can do so through Holy Trinity's many opportunities. Rudy Dehaney, or the Coordinator of Youth Ministry, will act as the "supervisor" and sign off on all online or paper service hour forms, regardless of the type of service. You can email the forms to rdehaney@trinity.org with at least 3 days notice so he can fulfill requests in a timely manner.
