How do I Record my Community Involvement (Volunteer) Hours ?

Students must record their hours of community involvement on the Community Involvement Hours Record Form and have the volunteer supervisor sign for the hours completed. Students must then hand in completed forms to the Guidance office at NACI.


As soon as students complete all or part of the required 40 hours, they are encouraged to return the completed form to the Guidance office in order to have the volunteer hours recorded and updated on their transcript. Students may also attach signed letters verifying their completion of volunteer activities to their Record of Community Involvement form. 


*Please note, the Ontario Student Transcript shows only that the community involvement is complete or not complete, it does not indicate the total number of hours above 40 a student completes.


All students are encouraged to complete a minimum of 10 Community Involvement Hours each academic year!
