Why Do 4-H Volunteers Need to Report Hours?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Volunteer hours are a powerful reporting tool for WSU Extension to demonstrate the support for our programming of 4-H volunteer leaders across Washington State. Washington State 4-H can provide the total numbers of 4-H volunteer leaders hours and the benefits to the 4-H program to County Commissioners and State Legislators to support the value of WSU Extension 4-H programs.<\/p>\n

Washington State law requires that all volunteers working in support of WSU 4-H programs are covered by worker compensation insurance. The Washington State Department of Labor and Industry uses the dates and number of hours that volunteers work to determine the amount of insurance that must be purchased to adequately cover our volunteers. To be in compliance with State law, WSU 4-H uses GivePulse to record all volunteer leader hours.<\/p>\n

All WSU 4-H volunteer hours are required to log in to report hours they worked for any WSU 4-H programs. Ideally, reporting should be done monthly, but the records can be caught up at any time. See details and other options on the 4-H Volunteer Time Log Instructions.<\/p>\n

Report Your Volunteer Hours<\/strong><\/p>\n

To report volunteer hours,<\/p>\n

If this is the first time accessing GivePulse<\/p>\n

Claim your account
\n\u2022 Receive Email from Give Pulse to claim account that has been created for you
\n\u2022 Begin logging \u201cImpact Hours\u201d AKA Volunteer Hours
\n1) Add Impact
\n\u2022 Enter time and event that took place
\n2) Register for Programed Event and claim hours
\n\u2022 Some of the events have alread been logged, ie, monthly Leader\u2019s Council Meetings, EYAC, Reoccurring 4-H Club Meeting, etc.<\/p>\n

TIPS:<\/strong> The main thing for the leaders to do is to sign up and when they want to report any hours, the word in the system is not hours but “impact.” They “add an impact.”
\nOn the initial sign-up page, it immediately asks for a WSU email…this throws everyone off because most of our volunteers do not have a WSU email…however, there is a spot for non-WSU email folks to sign up (just under where it asks for a WSU address). This part is a common spot where people get nervous and freeze up. So, if you can get past that point, then you are good to go. They also need to remember that “impacts” is the term for hours.<\/p>\n
