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:
- Serving meals at a shelter
- Volunteering at your church
- Volunteering at a blood drive
- Attending a beach clean up
- Unpaid internship hours
- Attending any events hosted by Community Service Programs
- Non-approvable hours:
- Donating money or items will not earn service hours. Your organization can track philanthropic dollars through other means but not through service hours.
- 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.
