Question 5

Would mentors receive community service hours?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We would be glad to verify the time and effort you have put into as our mentors. If your school requires verification through a separate form or letter, let us know and we would fill it out. Unfortunately, if your school only accepts service hours completed in registered organizations, we will not be able to help you as we are not a registered nonprofit. Please check in with your school's policy and we’ll make sure to help you out as much as we can!
