Common questions
Is it free?
Yes. Easy 40 is free for students. No subscription, no credit card, no app to download.
Will my school accept the hours?
Easy 40 generates a verified letter with the organization name, date, and hours signed off by the host. That's the same information your counsellor asks for on paper forms — just digital.
What if the organization doesn't mark my attendance?
Contact us and we'll follow up on your behalf. Orgs are reminded automatically after each shift ends.
Can I log hours from a volunteer job I already did?
Easy 40 tracks shifts that are posted on Easy 40 — whether you apply here directly or apply through the organization's own site or email and let us know. Either way, the organization still confirms your attendance before hours count. For volunteering with a group that isn't on Easy 40 at all, ask them for a letter and a signed paper form; your school accepts both records together.
Do I need my parent's permission?
No account restrictions for students in Ontario. If your school or parent has specific requirements, the verified record we generate has everything they'll want to see.
