Family Service Credit Policy

ALERT: This policy has been updated for the 2024 prom.
Service Credit options open after you have purchased a prom ticket or Redeemed a Companion Voucher.

It Can't Be Done Without You!

EVERY TICKET AND COMPANION VOUCHER requires family service credit. The Texas Christian Homeschool Prom is only possible because of the amazing talent, cooperation, and support of parents and families of homeschooled and university model schooled students and their companions.

Family Service Credits are required for ALL Prom Tickets and ALL Companion Voucher Purchases. Students whose families do not have a completed assignment or concurrent assignment will not be allowed to enter prom.

Since all tickets and companion vouchers require Family Service Credit (FSC), there are a few ways that your family can work together with other families to accomplish receiving your credit.

1 – PURCHASED TICKETS: The eligible student’s family serves their own FSC for their purchased tickets.
2 – COMPANION VOUCHERS:

  • The companion voucher receiver’s parent or family member can serve for the companion’s FSC
  • The eligible (purchasing) student’s parent or family member serves for the companion voucher’s FSC
  • The eligible (purchasing) student serves for their companion voucher’s FSC (look for a “companion service credit compatible task offering” notation next to these task names)
3 – IN LIEU OF SERVICE CREDIT HOURS: Either family can choose to pay the Contribution in Lieu of Serving (these funds pay for movers, truck rentals, etc)

Families Working Together / Ways to Choose a Task

This is a family organization, and we enjoy getting to know other families and serving alongside each other every year.

There are several types of Tasks:

There are also different ways you may have a Task assigned to your account:

  • Select your own Task (from the Sign Up and Show Up section)
  • Pay the Contribution in Lieu of Serving online from your prom account (the system assigns that “Task” to you and marks your service as Complete).
  • Get called by one of our Team Leaders regarding any of the Invitation Only tasks (this includes all prom night assignments – called NOP Tasks)
  • Get called by one of our helpful calling team volunteers to select from the publicly- available Tasks (same as Sign Up and Show Up, but with someone assisting you in the process)

By the end of March, everyone should have a prom job assigned. You may have accepted an Invitation-Only task, chosen a task from the Task Choices page, or made a Financial Contribution in lieu of serving in a Family Service Credit task. For any family who still needs a task to meet their Family Service Credit requirement, a team of callers will help get them plugged in to an available job.

Need Additional Assistance?

Email PromParents@TxCHP.com if you need to discuss your preferences or need a little help getting the assignment figured out. You should be able to see any/all Tasks assigned to your family from your family Dashboard at the TxCHP.com website.

Extenuating Circumstances

Email PromParents@TxCHP.com if your family has a serious extenuating circumstance that would preclude your family from being able to serve this year. A TxCHP representative will contact you to discuss the situation. We also have a beautiful prayer team that can pray for any circumstances going on in the lives of our prom families.

Families of Alumni and Non-Homeschooled Guests

EVERY TICKET AND COMPANION VOUCHER requires family service credit. The Texas Christian Homeschool Prom is only possible because of the amazing talent, cooperation, and support of parents and families of homeschooled and university model schooled students and their companions.

Please note this is a change to the way this policy has been handled in prior years. We will have some specific notes on tasks that are “Companion Service Credit Compatible” meaning a student or parent from either the host family or the companion’s family may fulfill the credit hours. For guests (non-eligible students) and alumni families, if you wish to be part of the Night of Prom crew, these tasks are not usually “Companion Service Credit Compatible“, so please email PromParents@TxCHP.com to request a Night of Prom task interview and include some background information so we understand the situation.
