Need help recording your hours?
IMPORTANT NOTICE: HOURS MUST BE ASSIGNED TO THE DATES THEY WERE COMPLETED. You cannot put more than 16 hours on one day, or add a note that says “these hours were performed every Saturday for the last year.” This extra work is appropriate for this national award. Thanks for recording your hours when you completed them!
All volunteer activities are subject to the UA Rules for Community Service:
Completed without pay.
Completed for someone other than a family member.
Completed for the school or service agency/organization.
Youth in the Booth does not count as community service, unless you have donated your pay and can produce a receipt.
All political activities must be non-partisan (i.e., working for the League of Women Voters or Get Out the Vote. NOT - working for a specific campaign for a candidate)
Extended service trips/camps can receive a maximum of 18 hours per day. This includes 6th grade camp (maximum of 48 hours for 6th grade camp).
Religious activities count with the exceptions of teaching or preaching.
