Service records

Completed work, placed in context.

Gather is designed to record completed rescue activity so students can maintain a clearer history of how they have participated over time.

Each school, NHS chapter, club, scholarship, or service program sets its own rules for accepting service records.

For advisors & program leaders

Built for students. Useful to the people guiding them.

Advisors, service clubs, NHS chapters, and community programs may find clearer activity context useful as they guide students under their own policies.

Opportunity discovery

Help students understand a practical pathway into local service.

02

Future visibility

As Gather grows, reporting possibilities may help programs understand participation over time.

Community connection

Hours matter. So does what those hours accomplish.

A food rescue connects a student's time to an active local process—food becomes available, a volunteer moves it, and an organization receives it.
