Virtual Community Service

Due to the COVID-19 crisis, tnAchieves recognizes that completing in-person community service hours may be challenging.

As an additional resource, we have recorded a virtual opportunity for you to complete community service hours. By watching the webinars below, you will accumulate community service hours. Each video will account for one hour of community service, so feel free to watch multiple episodes. We hope that these webinars/interviews will provide you with insight into career paths, college success and general life skills.

Click the link below to log in and view a community service webinar. You must watch a webinar in its entirety and click 'submit' to be credited an hour of community service. Duplicate viewings of the same webinar will not be counted as an hour of community service. You may only receive credit for viewing each webinar once!

***You DO NOT need to submit tnAchieves virtual community service separately. Your attendance will be recorded after viewing each webinar and one hour of community service will be credited to your account***
