HOUR FORM
Please fill out the following form to receive credit for completing a volunteering opportunity. Make sure to upload proof if necessary! Make sure you upload all required proof in one form.
As the Dulles chapter of NHS has heavily relied on in-person events in the past, we are currently on the hunt for more virtual opportunities that are both easily accessible by members but also truly impact the community. Below are opportunities that we've currently collected for you to participate in (hospital & feminine product drive are still awaiting sponsor approval). In terms of the hours requirement, we won't expect something that is impossible from you, so we will adjust requirements based on the opportunities that are made available. If you have any other volunteering suggestions, please email [email protected]!
DROPOFFS
May 15th from 2pm-4pm
We'll be collecting donations (feminine product drive) as well as any volunteer opportunities that need to be mailed (Love for the Elderly & Color a Smile). Please place everything in your trunk along with a piece of paper that has your name, ID, and grade clearly written on it.
Please view the guidelines below so that we can ensure that that you receive credit. Note: Color a Smile is capped to 3 hrs this semester. Remember that your love for the elderly and color a smile must be brought in an unstamped and unsealed envelope with your name written on it (each letter needs a separate envelope). We'll be mailing them together so you don't have to pay for shipping fees! You must still fill out the hours form BEFORE the drop-off (so you can take pictures of the work) to get credit for your work! |
