Big 33 Honor Roll
Community service is one of the core goals of FBLA, and it should be a focus of our chapter and all members. PA FBLA’s Big 33 program is designed to recognize chapters and members for the volunteer hours they have committed in school and in the community. You are already earning LINCS hours at South for community service...now you can earn them for FBLA too!!!
Guidelines
1. Community service hours may be claimed until February 28, 2016.
2. Only hours for which the volunteer is unpaid may be claimed.
3. Volunteer hours may be claimed for service performed in the schools and in the community.
4. All hours must be recorded daily on the specially designed forms found below and in the Recognition/Awards---Big 33 section of the PA FBLA website. There is one form for each month. The forms are spreadsheets, and all hours to be considered must be submitted on the forms. Members may enter data only in the yellow colored areas of the spreadsheet.
5. All forms must be submitted to the chapter adviser monthly. The due date of the forms to the adviser is listed on each month’s spreadsheet and below.
6. The maximum number of hours able to be claimed in one day is 24. Generic items such as “Summer of 2013” are not acceptable.
