The HUDDLE program targets many of the developmental assets, which have been identified by the Search Institute and
Hudson’s Community First as the building blocks of healthy development. It also meets the instructional objectives of
the Health curriculum developed for fourth and sixth grades.

High school students are selected to be HUDDLE mentors after completing an extensive application and interview
process, and committing to being completely tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs-free. HUDDLE mentors also complete a
training session to learn how to effectively teach the HUDDLE lessons to the younger students. They present three
lessons to fourth grade students, and three lessons to sixth grade students.

COMMUNITY SERVICE
Students may earn one-quarter credit for Community Service on their transcript by obtaining 30 volunteer service hours
through any combination of school and/or community organizations.

Students must complete a Service Log and submit it to the School Counseling Office. Service hours must be verified
(signature) by the adult in charge of the organization. The one-quarter credit will appear on the student’s transcript
with a “P/Pass” for a grade. No more than one-quarter credit can be earned in a school year regardless of the number
of hours submitted.
