After setting up the Service Hours calendar, it's time to define service opportunities in jmc Office. Service opportunities are offerings provided to students to help organize community service efforts for an organization. Once created, students can sign up for service opportunities to give back to the community and supervisors can keep track of student participation that fulfills organizational requirements right in jmc Office.

Head to Service Hours > Opportunities to create a service opportunity.

Helpful Tip: Click the "Students Not In An Offering" item in the "Offerings" box to view all students that are not currently signed up for a role within a service opportunity.

Step Three: Select a teacher from the "Teacher" drop-down list to assign a teacher as the supervisor of the service opportunity.


โ€‹Step Four: Enter a name for the offering in the "Name" field to help students distinguish this opportunity from other service opportunities.

Helpful Tip: Name the opportunity a specific role students will perform such as "Serving Tables" or "Raking Yards" within the scope of the larger project such as "Back to School BBQ" or "Community Beautification Day"
