NATIONAL AND STATE SERVICE AWARDS 

 

InnerView, a platform that tracks volunteer hours, has established service awards for volunteer activities that support the UN's Global and Sustainable Goals

 

In general, these award programs are based on service completed and logged within the award year (June 1 - April 15). Students must create an account (free) with InnerView, the organization that tracks and awards these awards programs and students log their volunteer hours using the InnerView app. Hours must be verifiable.  Award programs may have a tiered structure (e.g., 8 hours of service, 20 hours of service, 40 hours of service) and each award program defines the tiers and requirements for that award.  Volunteer activities must be recorded and/or logged on the InnerView to be counted for an award. See links below for further information.
