You are free to arrange your service work schedule in coordination with your fellow SGA, and in some cases, your field supervisor.

Your tutor will specify a target direct service hours typically of 45‒65 h. This forms your minimum service obligation. To meet this obligation, you have to log your direct contact hours on the Fieldwork Management System (FMS). In most cases, your total service hours will likely be less than 80 h.
