- Hours worked for other school groups (National Honor Society, Student Council, NAHS, Key Club) do count, as long as they meet all other criteria. Hours for class credit: PIG, do not.
- Hours must be authorized by the beneficiary of the work, or by a supervisor of the program sponsoring the event. NOT A PARENT.
