Personal Hour Verification

VolunteerStudio allows you to track service hours completed outside your volunteer group. These hours can now be verified by an outside volunteer/activity coordinator.

To Start

After filling out the details of your personal event click "Submit these hours for verification right now? (This can also be done later)"

You can submit these hours at a later point from the details view of the personal event.

Select an Approver

Enter the email of the volunteer coordinator or activity organizer for approval.

If this Approver exists in VolunteerStudio their information will appear. If not you'll need to enter their details.

If this Approver Exist in VolunteerStudio

Click select to choose this person.

If this Approver doesn't exist

Enter the organization the approver works with or select it if it appears.

Final Steps

Add a note to your approver and click "Submit"

Then wait for an email with the status!

Notes:

Once a personal event has been submitted for appoval it can no longer be edited.

If a personal event is denied by your approver it will be deleted.

Be sure to wait a few seconds on the page to make sure email does not bounce. If you provided a bad email you will see a popup asking you to enter a new email.

Re-submitting a Verification Request

If 7 days goes by with out a response you may resubmit your verification request to your approver. We recommend contacting your approver beforehand to let them know you are looking for them to verify your hours.

Rewards

If your volunteer group uses rewards you will recieve experience and VolunteerStudio points.

Volunteer Portfolios

You may include verified and non-verified events on a Volunteer Portfolio but verified events will display who verified them.
