First Page: Information About What You Did

Second Page: Verifying Service Hours

MobileServe has multiple ways to verify your service hours. We would like you to use the EMAIL verification method by getting the email of an adult (non-family member) ONLY.

  1. Check-in and Check-out using the app on your smartphone
  2. Include the email address of a non-family member adult leading the service event when you submit your hours. Make sure that you type the address correctly!
  3. Bonus: Take a photo of yourself doing service. You can take a photo through the app or add a photo file.
  4. Click SUBMIT

Please be sure to accurately log the time you served.

If you have questions, see the help page on MobileServe for directions on how to log your hours or see Mr. Forman in room 111.

WHY HAVE SOME SERVICE HOURS I’VE SUBMITTED NOT YET BEEN APPROVED?

Once you complete a service log and indicate the Supervisor’s email, MobileServe will send them an email asking them to verify your hours.  Once this completed, Mr. Forman will be notified and will provide final verification so the hours show up on your profile.

COMMON PROBLEMS

  • Verification email not received – some supervisors don’t see the email since it goes to their junk folder. Solution: Contact the supervisor and let them know you are waiting verification. Another option would be for them to email formantt@elderhs.org directly to let Mr. Forman know they verify your participation.  He will then approve your hours once the email is received.
  • Verification email is returned undeliverable – you entered an incorrect email for the supervisor.  Solution: Fix the email address!
  • Service hours are rejected by the supervisor – you submitted an incorrect number of hours, requested hours for an activity that was required and not voluntary, or you didn’t actually do the service.  Solution: Read the supervisor’s reason for rejecting the hours and correct the problem.

If you have questions, see the help page on MobileServe for directions on how to log your hours or see Mr. Forman in room 111.
