In order to develop a sense of civic responsibility and community values, students at ISNA High School must complete a minimum of 40 hours of Community Involvement prior to graduation.

• Community Involvement is a graduation requirement for an Ontario Secondary School Diploma. 
   
• School staff will discuss appropriate types of Community Involvement activities and projects with students and may offer suggestions, but the selection and management of the involvement is to be directed by the student.
   
• All activities before commencement must be recorded in the Student Log Book and approved by the school office.
   
• Activities may take place inside or outside the school; those which occur inside the school may not be part of a credit program.
   
• Activities may take place during the school day, but must occur outside the student's scheduled course time, that is, during the lunch hour, or before or after classes.
   
• Student fundraising, and acting as a student assistant, tutor, or peer helper or mediator within the school all qualify as Community Involvement activities.
   
• Volunteer activities, tutoring, fund-raising, coaching, or other work with community groups or charitable organizations all qualify as Community Involvement, as long as the student is not paid for the work done.
   
• Independent activities in the community may count, such as visiting, helping out, and picking up groceries or supplies for an elderly or disabled neighbour; shovelling snow or raking leaves, etc. Documentation must be received from the community member, and no payment of any kind may be received for these activities.
