Certification
Vibha service award calendar runs from Jan to Dec every year. At the end of the year, we go through the service record and if there is a possibility of getting the award, I review the hours and certify them and National Team will order the award.
General guidelines
- As Vibha Youth Volunteer, we request you support one or more Vibha events per year.
- Please do not submit religious volunteering activities for certification
- If you are supporting organizations other than Vibha, please have your hours approved (signature on paper or electronic copy) by the organizations. You will need to provide a copy upon request.
- Being a certifying organization is a privilege that Vibha team takes seriously. Without proper paperwork, we will deny certifying the hours.
