For holidays landing on the weekend and observed before or after the holiday, please check with your supervior to determine when/if your host site will be closed. If a host site is closed, members should not be serving unless prior approved. 

PLANNING HOURS
RISE AmeriCorps Members are responsible for planning and completing all hours of their service term to  receive the Segal Education Award.

Each member signs a Member Service Agreement, which states the number of hours needed each week to stay on track. This number is usually 34 hours, 18 hours or 9 hours per week.

To ensure you meet your goal, you can plan hours with this Excel sheet. Never use the OnCorps timesheets as an alternative to plan hours. Before using the Excel tool, you will need to know your total number of hours served, the total hours needed and your term's end date.
