Log your hours.
Make them count.
Volunteer with NHA and keep a verified record of your service hours. Log them here, get them verified by a coordinator, and use them for college applications, scholarships, and school service requirements.
Recognition
What you get.
NHA recognizes your verified service at Bronze, Silver, and Gold milestones as your hours add up. Your verified hours are yours to use for college, scholarships, and school service requirements.
BRONZE
First milestone
The entry tier. Most active members reach it within a semester of regular chapter work.
SILVER
Committed
For members who show up consistently across the year.
GOLD
Standout
The top tier, for leaders driving events, writing, and research.
Milestone thresholds are set by NHA, and your dashboard tracks your verified hours automatically.
The guide
What counts, and roughly how much.
A starting point for turning what you do into hours. These are estimates, a coordinator confirms your actual hours, and bigger projects are worth more.

Rough estimates only. Log what you actually did, and a coordinator confirms it. Leading an initiative or contributing to research is worth more, just describe it when you log.
Why it's worth logging
Hours that open doors.
A verified service record is more than a number. It's what backs the applications that matter, and it's yours to keep.
College & scholarships
A clean, verified log for college applications, scholarships, and school service requirements, hours you can actually point to.
Official partnerships
We're working toward official service-award partnerships, so the hours you log here can count toward recognition programs too.
Submit
Log your hours.
Submit hours for review. Once verified by a coordinator, they count toward your award and appear in your dashboard.
Tip
Your hours attach to your account, so you can watch your progress toward Bronze, Silver, and Gold right from your dashboard.
