Reminder: You Have 4 Hours to Get Out and Volunteer!

Heartland AEA staff members are granted up to 4 hours of agency time per fiscal year to do volunteer/community service work. Keep the following guidelines in mind when volunteering:  

• There must be at least three Heartland AEA staff members (you and at least two other staff) working at the same volunteer opportunity together.  
• You are encouraged to wear Heartland AEA logo clothing or our “Heartland Cares” stickers that were created for this purpose. You can request stickers by contacting the Communications Department. (Please wear logo shirts or stickers so others can see where you're from!)  
• You must approve your leave with your supervisor before taking the time off.  
• Volunteer leave should be recorded in the Leave Online system as Volunteer Leave.  
• Finally, to celebrate our work, take a photo of your group during the volunteer activity and send it to the Communications Department with information about the activity and who was involved.  

Thank you for representing the Agency and serving our communities!
