section.
2. Checking for Approved Organizations: Under the "Organizations" tab, students must check if their
volunteering organization is already approved.
* If approved, students can proceed to create a proposal.
* If not listed, students can add a new organization by providing necessary information and
submitting for approval.
3. Parent Approval: Once a proposal is created, parents need to log into their CCPS portal to
approve ii.
4. Counselor Approval: After parent approval, the counselor will review the proposal for final
approval.
5. Logging Hours: After all approvals, students can upload their log sheet under the "Logs" tab.
Work Hours:
ā¢ Students should log into the CCPS Portal, click on the "Logs" tab, and upload their paystub to
document work hours.
Counselor Review and Transfer: Counselors will review and approve both volunteer and work hour
logs. Once approved, these hours will be transferred to the system overnight.
