Service & Enrichment Requirements

Service and Enrichment are integral pillars of the Schoolcraft Scholars Honors Program. Knowledge, personal growth, and skills developed through Service and Enrichment are assessed as learning outcomes and transfer to professional life.

What is Service?

Service consists of volunteer work that serves individuals and the community at large. Service fosters a sense of altruism and civic responsibility. By volunteering with local organizations such as Keep Growing Detroit, Gleaners Community Food Bank, Project Share Joy, Fleece and Thank You, and others, Scholars are able to connect with others and impact their local communities.

Scholars are required to complete 50 hours of Service for the Honors Program.  This includes volunteer work with on-campus and off-campus organizations. 

What is Enrichment?

Enrichment consists of any civic and cultural engagement or leadership conference that is not considered service. Enrichment kindles an interest in lifelong learning. By attending museum trips (such as the Detroit Institute of Arts, Pageturners Book Club, STEAMz Conference, and other events on- and off-campus, Scholars cultivate a well-rounded educational experience.

Scholars are required to complete 15 hours of Enrichment for the Honors Program. 

Make Sure Your Service Hours Count!

All Service and Enrichment hours and reflections must be approved, documented, and submitted each semester. 

Service hours must be completed through one of our many approved campus partnerships. We are happy to add new service partners, so if you are working with an organization that is not currently recognized as a partner, just call the Honors office to request that we add them to the list. Thank you for your service!
