Does providing childcare while parents attend meetings at the religious organization site qualify?
Yes, but only when the meetings address a community need and/or serve a population beyond the faith membership and do not support a for-profit business; eligible activities might include: teaching English classes, offering workshops open to the general public, blood drives, fitness classes, non-denominational music gatherings. SSL hours cannot be earned for meetings for congregation members only, and/or those that are focused on religion or worship.
