Mandated Community Service

If you would like to complete mandated community service hours with Habitat, please read through all of the information below.  Please be aware that setting up mandated community service volunteers can take some time.  Don't wait until the last minute to contact us!

Your responsibilities:

  Before your first day of community service is scheduled you must submit a copy of a letter from the organization requesting the community service hours stating the reason why you are required to complete them.  The letter must include by when and to whom confirmation of your hours will go upon completion of your service. 

  Also needed is a copy of a photo id.

                 *You may fax or e-mail this information to our Volunteer Services Manager (see contact info below).

  All community service dates must be scheduled through our Volunteer Services Manager.  You may schedule by phone or e-mail.

  Please review our construction volunteer page for information regarding when to arrive, directions, FAQ and more.

Tracking your hours:

ü       On your first day, please ask for a Community Service Hours Tracking Log.  It is your responsibility to bring it with you every time you volunteer.   You MUST have your daily supervisor sign you in on this form AT THE BEGINNING of each day and sign you out WHEN YOU LEAVE.  If you do not, your hours will not be counted.

ü       YOUR SUPERVISOR WILL SIGN YOU IN AT THE TIME THAT YOU ASK TO BE SIGNED IN.  If you do not do this when you first arrive, you will not be credited for all of the hours that you worked.  ALSO, THIS WILL BE YOUR ONLY RECORD OF YOUR SERVICE WITH US, SO PLEASE KEEP THIS DOCUMENT SAFE.

         ü    You will not earn service hours during lunch.  A half an hour will automatically be deducted from your total hours for the day, so

            please be sure to take lunch.

Receiving verification of your hours:

ü       As soon as you have completed your hours either mail or hand-deliver your Community Service Hours Tracking Log to our Volunteer Services Manager.

ü       You should plan to complete your service with us at least TWO weeks prior to your needing confirmation of your hours.  This is essential to allow time for our Volunteer Services Manager to write a confirmation letter and to ensure it arrives on time via mail.
