[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of people embellish hours.
Difference btw 2 and 3 hours a week? If you include travel time…[/quote]

Travel time is legit. If you have to drive an hour to volunteer, that's 2 hours out of your day when you could have been doing something else. During COVID I remember kids had to travel really far to get time on ice, fields, pools, etc to practice, otherwise they'd have had to quit the sport. The time traveling is a part of the process. Just like kids who mention how far they travel to go to a specific school.

There really should be more guidance on how to answer this though to help get more uniformity.[/quote]

Hmmm. We were told not to include travel time, bc everyone has to "travel" to do a variety of activities. It doesn't count as the actual activity.[/quote]

It depends. Not all travel is the same. For example, if the place is remote and that's why volunteers are needed, travel is a part of the service.[/quote]
