Once you complete a volunteer Opportunity, you can track your hours and build your volunteer resume! You can add all of your volunteers' hours directly from the Track Hours area of your volunteer dashboard.
If you need help submitting hours or run into any difficulties using the site to submit your hours, please reach out to your Advanced Program Managers, Program Facilitators, or Site Managers for assistance—as they're the ones that manage the site and can further assist and troubleshoot the issue.
