HOURS

Take a moment to record your service hours, as this helps us track our collective efforts and measure our impact. Your recorded hours allow us to acknowledge your commitment and provide you with the recognition you deserve. Thank you for being an essential part of our mission!

Why do I need hours ?

  • The work unit of the Junior Auxiliary Chapter member is the hour. While the real impact of service cannot be measured by counting hours, for internal purposes hours are reported in the following categories:

  • Half hours are not counted. Round off hours to the nearest whole number. Hours cannot be counted twice. Credit to only one category - either administration, education, finance, or service.

  • Hours given to service for others in the community. Service includes welfare, community, cultural and other activities.

    NAJA Scholarship donations are not service projects.

  • Hours worked to raise funds to cover Chapter and project expenses.

  • Hours obtained in attending Chapter Meetings, Area Meetings and AEC; Provisional Training; seminars and programs which enhance volunteer skills and effectiveness.

  • Hours worked to organize, administer and operate Junior Auxiliary both locally and nationally.

    Project research is administrative unless the project is adopted. Then the hours would be Service hours.
