Hey y'all,

Lotsa confusion about how to count volunteer hours. Would appreciate some guidance 🙂

Wondering if the following counts as volunteer hours:
-Several hundred hours volunteering at church as Sunday School teacher
- Two years as co-bible study leader/mentor for underclassmen during college
-AmeriCorps (1700) and AmeriCorps VISTA (~1900)--both are "paid" and were my jobs for two years, so it was more like work than more typical volunteering for a couple of hours at a time

During my AmeriCorps year, I also had at least 100 hours of clinical volunteering where I was in a clinic as an advocate/case manager... do I need to separate those hours out into my clinical hour tab? Also, could I count the clinical hours where I wasn't in a clinic but was meeting with my clients in their homes and their community about health and social needs?

How far back are we allowed to count hours?

Sorry these are so technical, but it will make a heck of a difference in my count! Thanks a million for any wisdom you want to lend.
