Thank you for volunteering with the WPFC! We truly could not do this work without you.
How to Track Volunteer Hours
We ask WPFC volunteers to submit their hours for each month by the 7th of the following month. These hours should exclude hours completed during WPFC events or committee meetings; those will be tracked separately by the event organizer or committee chair.
There are two ways to submit volunteer hours:
- Submit one volunteer shift at a time using this form (ideal for infrequent volunteers)
- Fill out all your hours on a Volunteer Timesheet spreadsheet and upload it here (ideal for frequent volunteers)
Please log volunteer hours in military time with no punctuation. For example, a shift from 10:00am to 2:30pm would have a start time of “1000” and an end time of “1430”.
If you coordinated an event, led a committee meeting, or presented at another organization’s event on behalf of the WPFC, please fill out the Event Tracking Form which includes everyone’s volunteer hours for that event/meeting. We recommend doing the following to make filling out the Event Tracking Form as easy as possible:
- Bookmark the link to the Event Tracking Form.
- Print out a Volunteer Timesheet for in-person events and have all volunteers sign in and out.
- The volunteer category, total volunteer hours, and volunteering description columns don’t need to be filled in by volunteers.
- After the event is over, copy the data from the printed timesheet into a digital timesheet and upload it to the Event Tracking Form when you log the event. Alternatively, you can just upload a picture of the physical timesheet on the form, and WPFC staff will upload that data for you.
- For online committee meetings, list the meeting start time, end time, and attendees in the meeting notes and keep them updated in Google Drive. Put the link to this page in your meeting notes and encourage your attendees to log volunteer hours completed outside of meetings and events.
