How does the transcript recognition part of the program work?
Students who complete 40 hours of volunteering with GIVE within 365 days can apply to have this contribution recognised on their academic transcript via the Community and Employability Pathway Transcript.

Simply fill in the hours, have the host/supervisor sign off and email it back to volunteering@murdochguild.com.au.
Can I have my other volunteering experience recognised?
GIVE is only able to recognise hours logged at GIVE Volunteer Events.
How long do I have to complete the 40 hours?
40 hours must be completed within 365 days to be considered for transcript recognition. The 365 days start from the date of your first volunteering event.
I don’t feel like I can commit to 40 hours, can I still volunteer?
Of course! There are lots of benefits to volunteering. Satisfaction in knowing you are helping the community, meeting likeminded people and employers always like to see experience on CVs. You are always welcome to join GIVE volunteer events.
