Please refer to this article in Help & Learning for Hosted Participants for more information regarding what activities count and don't count for hours, and to download the Volunteer Hour Tracking Sheet.
In April, YES and FLEX students will upload their tracking sheets via an assignment in Google Classroom (for review by the YES and FLEX Specialists) and CBYX students will email their tracking sheets directly to CBYX Specialist for review.
If there are any clusters that want to use their own tracker/spreadsheet for their students, the Cluster Coordinators should submit it to the YES, FLEX, and/or CBYX Specialists in April. Those YES and FLEX students won't be required to complete the assignment in Google Classroom but can do so if they would like to submit photos and share some of their reflections on volunteering.
A quick reminder that the SP students are required to complete 25 hours of community service while on program (15 hours for semester students). In order to proactively encourage SP students to start working on their volunteer hours, the YES, FLEX, and CBYX monthly surveys will ask the number of hours they've completed so far and the activities they've done, starting with the October Reflection survey. We hope this will also help the student manage their time better, especially if they are aiming for 100 hours to get the special certificate from ECA. If any Cluster Coordinators want to know how many hours their students have completed so far based on the survey responses, please reach out to the SP Hosting Specialists.
