Hours are the easy part. Orblite works out which commitments are actually building something and which ones are just filling Saturdays.

The single most common way students lose service hours is reconstructing them in April from memory. Nobody remembers whether the food-bank shift in November was three hours or four, and a coordinator asked to verify a year-old estimate will round down.
Two minutes on the day, with the date and what you actually did, is worth more than an afternoon of archaeology in the spring. That is the whole reason this exists as a tracker rather than a calculator.
Write what you did, not what the organization does. "Sorted and boxed donations, ran the intake desk Saturday mornings" is verifiable and specific. "Volunteered at food bank" is neither, and it is the version that gets queried.
The specificity has a second use later. When you write an activities list or an essay, this log is the raw material — and a year of one-line specifics is far easier to write from than a total.
Most service requirements are a graduation box: a number your school needs to see. Meeting it is necessary and it is not interesting. Nobody reading an application has ever been moved by a total.
What reads is duration and depth — the same organization for two years, a role that grew, something that visibly would not have happened without you. Forty hours across one commitment says more than a hundred spread across eight. If you are choosing where to put a Saturday, that is the thing to optimise, and the total will follow.
