6. Community Impact

Since your GIVE Fellowship, have you engaged in ongoing volunteer work? *This question is required.

Yes	No
Yes	No

On average, how many hours per year do you volunteer doing skilled service (i.e. board service, volunteer leadership, pro bono support)? Please include estimates of board service/ volunteer leadership, pro bono support, and other service that leverage your professional skills. Consider service that you engaged in following your GIVE Fellowship experience even if you aren't currently serving.

For example, if you serve on 2 boards, with board service estimated at ~5 hours per month for 12 months, that’s 2 x 5 x 12 = 120 hours per year.

Comments

On average, how many hours per year do you volunteer doing direct service? Please include total estimated hours spent doing day-of-service projects with your company, neighborhood clean ups, bake sales, and other similar projects.

For example, if you participate in monthly, 3-hour Volunteering Untapped events and an annual company-wide day of service, that would be 12 x 3 + 6 = 42 hours per year.
