Answer 16

@poopsiedoodle Um, you are an ambassador.... didn't you read that part of the manual?

Answer 17

@e.mccormick "You may request a Letter of Recommendation or Certificate of Achievement for your volunteer service."
it never mentioned volunteer hours

Answer 18

Get An Award!
Three months after the initial training period, Ambassadors qualify to be recognized for their contributions to OpenStudy. You may request a Letter of Recommendation or Certificate of Achievement for your volunteer service. However, there are some additional conditions that could hurt or help you.

The Ambassador Management Team tracks the training and performance of the Ambassadors. If your performance has caused problems or is not up to standards, you may not get awarded this. On the other hand, if your performance is stellar and beyond expectations, that too could be noted. Exactly how good a letter you can get depends on how good you are as an Ambassador for OpenStudy.

These awards can be very helpful when applying for a job, school, or scholarship. This makes it in your best interest to qualify for a great letter!


Well, ask for hours on the letter.

Answer 19

no, letters of recommendation are for things like applying to college
volunteer hours are for national honor society and stuff
it's not the same

Answer 20

"Certificate of Achievement for your volunteer service. "

Answer 21

I used OpenStudy to get hours for an Honors Society.

Answer 24

@e.mccormick , you're making the assumption that @poopsiedoodle has read the manual.

I think only like a total of two Ambassadors have read the entire manual. Heh

Answer 25

@Compassionate
I believe one of those two ambassadors is you.

Answer 26

You are correct

Answer 27

Well, more will read it this time. I am making it part of the first training session. Last time it was not finished on time. Now it is!

Answer 29

@e.mccormick @Preetha What address do we put here??
http://prntscr.com/5a0viz
Our address or the school address???

Answer 30

oh, I put my home address o-o

Answer 31

The question is still unanswered... It should have been specific. You can all thank me later when I get this cleared up :P

Answer 32

Well, if the community service letter is going to be for you, it will generally have your address on it.

Answer 33

Or that may be where they mail it to if it is physical... could be either.

Answer 34

ok..

Answer 35

oh thanks :D

Answer 36

Address line 1: your address
Address line 2: the address of the institution
city,state, country : your address and the address of the institution should be same, i think.

When I asked Ms. Preetha for volunteer hours, I gave all my information that is needed or required by my school. Then the Openstudy team will check all your data and they will give you the hours depending on it. My school requires 40 hours of community involvement to graduate from high school. I already have like 25 hours before I thought of Openstudy, so I asked Ms. Preetha if she can give me 15 hours for helping here in OS... but according to all my activities here, I actually gained 33 hours. She'll make a letter and sign it, then you have to send it the institution that requires this document.

Answer 37

?? twice lol
