How to use it
- Print the sheet below and fill in your name, the program or court requiring the hours, your total requirement, and your deadline.
- Log each shift the day you serve it — date, organization, and hours. Memory is the number one reason hours get rejected.
- Get your supervisor to sign the row before you leave the site. A signature added weeks later is much harder to get.
- Keep the running total updated so you always know how many hours you have left.
- When you finish, photograph or scan the signed sheet before you hand it in, and ask the organization for a verification letter on letterhead. Most courts and schools want both.
To print: press Ctrl + P (Windows) or ⌘ + P (Mac). The site navigation and these instructions drop away — you get just the sheet, sized for US Letter.
