Question 1

How many credits do I receive when I join H.O.P.E.?

Accepted Answer

H.O.P.E. provides 3 club credits for every 50 points. In total, H.O.P.E. provides 12 club credits for at least 200 points.

Question 2

How do I receive volunteer hours?

Accepted Answer

Volunteer hours are only given out through event participation outside of school. H.O.P.E.’s secretary keeps tracks of the events our members participate in and the amount of service hours they receive for it. If you only attend meetings or participate in fundraisers, you do not receive volunteer hours for them. Although you do receive points for participation, you will not be awarded volunteer hours.

Question 3

How does the point system work?

Accepted Answer

H.O.P.E. provides volunteering events for our members to participate in. Through attending these events, you gain a certain amount of points, usually depending on the amount of hours the event lasts. Generally, we give out 5 points for each hour of the event. Members are also able to gain points through attending meetings, buying merchandise, and supporting our fundraisers/drives. Despite Tech no longer counting points for club credits, the point system is still maintained in H.O.P.E. specifically for the Garden of H.O.P.E. and Token Economy.
