Hi guys,
Do we need to have proof of volunteer hours that are separate from our actual observation hours?

Not unless the school specifically says so. In OTCAS, you just enter the number of hours you volunteered and where. I even applied to a non-OTCAS school, that did not require proof of volunteering (just observation), and just included my experience on the resume I was required to submit. In my case, I used the supervisor at the facility where I volunteer as a reference, but for no program was I required to send a separate document that verified how many hours I put in there.

You can print off a general form for observation and/or volunteer hours and have your supervisor sign it, just in case. I did this for each of my volunteer and observation sites, and while none of the schools I applied to requested proof of my hours, it was nice to know I had it. One less thing to worry about during the stressful application process! 🙂
