• Involvement in a child's school
• Tutoring and mentoring in schools (36 hours per year)
• Volunteer activity in the schools or a community service organization
• Volunteering in a state public university, community college system or state agency provided that it is outside the employee's normal duties

This policy specifically applies to permanent SHRA and EHRA non-faculty employees and does not affect temporary SHRA or EHRA non-faculty staff members.
