Log and approve volunteer hours

Hours are how you show volunteer impact in grant and board reporting.

Logging hours

Open the Hours tab of the Volunteers page and click Log Volunteer Hours, which is also in the Dashboard tab’s Quick Actions. Each entry records the volunteer, the hours, the date, and, if you want it, a description of what they did.

The approval queue

Every entry starts as pending and appears at the top of the Hours tab, where your team can Approve or Reject it. Only approved hours count toward a volunteer’s total. The Dashboard tab shows a Pending Approvals count that links straight there.

Totals

Each volunteer builds up a running total of approved hours, and the Dashboard’s Top Volunteers leaderboard ranks them by those hours.
