How are CEV hours tracked?
Volunteers must sign in and log their own hours. Marissa Reynolds, Keshet’s Community Volunteer Manager, will track all of your hours and communicate with you regarding updates, opportunities, hours completed/owed and much more.
How do I know how many CEV hours I owe?
The number of CEV hours required is listed beneath every payment option. Additionally, you will be contacted via email by Keshet’s Community Volunteer Manager, Marissa Reynolds, providing details of your purchase, deadlines, and ways in which you can complete your hours.
A google survey will be linked to the email to help Keshet determine the best way to help you finish your hours based on your skills and interests.
