I'm trying to compile my volunteer hours for high school. What's the best way to track these hours and make sure they're verified? Is there an app or website that you recommend? Thanks in advance!
Hey there! Keeping track of your volunteer hours is super important for college applications and even some scholarships. A reliable method to document your hours is to maintain a simple spreadsheet or use the notes app on your phone. Make sure to include the date, organization, activity, and hours spent volunteering.
For verification, you could request signed letters from the coordinators or supervisors of the activities you've participated in, or get their contact information and have them available in case any documentation is needed.
There are also some apps and websites you can explore for tracking volunteer hours. One option is the app 'Track it Forward,' which is specifically designed for this purpose. Another option is using the 'Volunteer Time Tracker' feature on CollegeVine's free platform, which allows you to not only track your hours but also save them to your college and scholarship applications.
Ultimately, you should choose the method that works best for you and ensures all your hours are accurately recorded and verified. Happy volunteering!
