Goal ideas
- 100 verified hours by end of senior year (graduation requirement).
- Attend at least 2 events per month for 12 months (consistency goal).
- 50 hours at animal shelters (interest-specific goal).
If your school requires 75 hours, set your goal to 100. You'll hit the requirement with margin to spare, and the extra hours strengthen your application.
Yura notifies you at 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. If 100 hours feels overwhelming, just focus on reaching 25 hours first. The progress bar handles the psychology.
