Hi @sankshaypusa,

Just a heads up, HackforLA has temporarily paused issuing volunteer offer letters for visa and post-graduation work/volunteer hour requirements. If you're interested in this type of letter, please fill out the Offer Letter Interest List form to be notified when this service resumes (link).

Otherwise, we are still providing supervisor evaluation reports for school/college/university course volunteer hours, but only on a case-by-case basis.
Could you clarify if your request is related to academic course requirements?

Thanks!

The letter is for employment verification. You were not an employee of Hack for LA. You were a volunteer. If you want a letter verifying the dates that you volunteered, 2021-03-01 - 2021-08-02 we can do that.

I see the following activity that supports that.

• Interview Priority Analysis: 54 civictechindex/BOP#162
  assigned 2021-03-25
  completed 2021-03-31

[Sim] The template form has been updated to remove the term 'Employee' from the original Google Form request. Please let me know if that works for you.
