Need a way for your volunteers to add hours outside of events or maybe helped your organization on their own time?
From the mobile app:
- In the app, go to the "Activity" tab.
- At the top, click on "+Add Hours".
- Put in the start date, time, duration, and then search for the organization you need to self submit hours to.
- You can then add hours to "general" , an event, or to an org's programs if they are on the Pro subscription. Select which option you need to add hours for and then add a comment about what you did and then hit "Add".
*Note: An admin from that organization will have to approve your hours before they are listed on your profile.
*Note: If you can’t find your organization, click the “Can’t Find My Organization” button. You can type in the organization name and add a contact email from someone at that organization so they can approve your hours. It is possible that an organization you volunteered with isn’t yet on POINT, but this allows you to still count those hours on your volunteer profile.
From the web:
- In your volunteer dashboard, you can either to to "+Add Hours" under your name or go to and click on "+Add Hours" next to export.
- In the "Add Hours" box, put in the start date, time, duration, and then search for the organization you need to self submit hours to.
- You can then add hours to an event, an org's programs if they are on the Pro subscription, or other activity. Select which option you need to add hours for and then add a comment about what you did and then hit "Add".
