VOLUNTEER HOURS:
Volunteer hours are recorded for each member to capture the impact of our service to our communities. Three types of volunteer hours are recorded:
A. Community Service Hours - Community Service involvement entails service projects and activities sanctioned by Altrusa, as documented in a club’s minutes. Service hours include time spent in planning, preparation, execution and evaluation of fund-raisers and service projects. (Operating and internal fund-raisers used to fund the administrative operating budget do not qualify for any service hours, but hours spent working on the Foundation fundraisers do count.)
B. Member Services Hours - Altrusa's member services include services such as production of the newsletter, board or committee meetings, leadership-development workshops, International Representation at Conference, etc.
C. Other Volunteer Hours - Club member participation in non-Altrusa community service activities includes volunteer work, for example, in hospitals, schools, libraries, not-for-profit organizations, and activities such as mentoring, tutoring, etc.
