What Counts as Volunteer Hours for the PVSA?

One of the most common questions we get is: “What volunteer work counts toward the PVSA?” Great question! The PVSA accepts hours from a wide range of service activities.

Eligible hours may include:

  • Donating time at shelters, food banks, or nonprofits

  • Helping with events at school, church, or your local library

  • Remote volunteering (writing cards, tutoring online, etc.)

  • Organizing fundraisers or donation drives

  • Environmental cleanups and animal shelter work

What doesn’t count? Anything where you’re paid. For a full breakdown, visit our PVSA page.
