        Reminders

        It has been brought to our attention lately that many of you don’t report all of your volunteer hours because you don’t want to boast or brag about the service you provide.  Here at Volunteer Montgomery, our program thrives and EXISTS because of your service hours to our community!  Please remember that we are generously funded by the Montgomery County Board of Supervisors because of all of the reports we send about projects and hours that our volunteers provide each year.  If you have any questions about how to report your hours each month, please contact a member of our team at volunteermontgomery@montgomerycountyva.gov

         

        You can submit volunteer hours by mail, email or by visiting https://forms.montva.com/Forms/RSVP-hours. If you use this link, your volunteer time will be emailed to staff. 

        Please let us know if you would like a paper copy or a fillable form to save to your tablet or PC.
