Lamar NHS offers the opportunity for members to volunteer at events in order to get "inside hours". Each member must complete at least 6 inside hours each semester, and at least 12 hours total. These can be any combination of inside hours or outside hours (with organizations outside of Lamar NHS), so long as each member completes a minimum of 6 inside hours.
Penalty hours may be given at events for
1. Lack of a NHS t-shirt
2. Poor behavior
3. Failure to show
4. Tardiness
Members will be required to both make up and complete an additional inside hour for every penalty hour earned.
Penalty hours may be given at events for
1. Lack of a NHS t-shirt
- Students may wear Lamar uniform ONLY to events that occur on campus immediately after school.
2. Poor behavior
- Students will be given two (2) verbal warnings by the supervisor of an event before penalty hours are given
3. Failure to show
- Students will be given an equivalent number of penalty hours to the length of the event, i.e 4 penalty hours for a 4 hour long event
4. Tardiness
- Students will have 15 minutes to arrive at the event without discipline
- If a student arrives between 15 minutes and 1 hour after the event starts they will receive 1 penalty hour
- If a student arrives after 1 hour past the start of the event it will treated as a "failure to show" (see above)
Members will be required to both make up and complete an additional inside hour for every penalty hour earned.
