If your volunteer hours amount to 6 hours or less, you will have the convenience of obtaining a printout directly from Volunteer Hampton Roads, a platform through which you register for our opportunities.
To ensure a smooth and efficient process, we kindly request that same-day service letter requests not be submitted.
