What Counts as Service Hours?

Service hours are earned for time spent volunteering, or the giving of time and energy, that benefits a community other than your own.

• Examples of approvable hours:
  1. Serving meals at a shelter
  2. Volunteering at your church
  3. Volunteering at a blood drive
  4. Attending a beach clean up
  5. Unpaid internship hours
  6. Attending any events hosted by  Community Service Programs
• Non-approvable hours:
  1. Donating money or items will not earn service hours. Your organization can track philanthropic dollars through other means but not through service hours.
  2. Fundraising for your club. Because you as a member of the club benefit from this, this is ineligible as service hours. If you are fundraising for a charitable cause, whatever portion of the funds that will be donated to the charitable organization is approvable as service hours.
     • i.e. If you spend 2 hours fundraising and 50% of proceeds are donated to a charitable organization, you may log 1 service hour on TitanLink.
