Service Hours Explained:

A.  Altrusa Service Hours (Foundation and Service Projects)

  • 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.

  • production of the newsletter,

  • board or committee meetings,

  • leadership-development workshops,

  • International Representation at Conference, etc.

C.  Non-Altrusa Volunteer Hours

Club member participation in non-Altrusa community service activities includes volunteer work:
