Report Your Hours / Annual Enrollment

Important: You must complete enrollment prior to any volunteer activity. Any volunteer service completed prior to enrollment is illegible for reporting. You will have limited access to your account until enrollment process is completed.Volunteers who do not complete the enrollment process by March 31, 2021 will be considered as no longer participating in the program.

If your criminal background check expires while you are inactive, you will be subject to registering and completing full onboarding if you wish to return to the program.

The enrollment process helps ensure a safe experience for you, our clients, and Extension staff.

Individuals who have been out of the program MUST be enrolled prior to any volunteer activity. Individuals transferring from other states must register and complete onboarding (limited availability in 2021 due to COVID restrictions).

Note: In April, enrolled volunteers will get access to Canvas, our online learning management system, in order to access future learning modules, such as Plants Plus and a modified version of our new onboarding course.
