SV’s Service Site Approved mark (SSA) can apply to any service organization, from national NGO to small local organizations, that has been approved by SV as eligible to recruit student volunteers through studentvolunteer.com. SSA status also marks organizations for which students may volunteer and get credit for SVF Scholarship and Grant purposes. Its purpose is to ensure that students do not take advantage of the system by lying about their volunteering hours. It also protects students from anyone who might try to fabricate service opportunities to lure students into unsafe environments. Student groups who sign up to have their school and community service recorded will need an adult advisor or administrator also registered to be Service Site Approved. The SSA mark will also be made available to all approved organizations to put on their website and will also provide a link to SV.
