Being an academic coach is meaningful work and you deserve to get credit for your volunteer service! Below we’ve provided the information you need to get your hours verified. Please allow us 8 business days to process your request.

UPchieve can verify volunteer hours in 3 ways:

1. Add us to your volunteer tracking platform

If you use a site that logs your volunteer hours and you only need a supervisor's contact information, you can use the following information.

  • Supervisor Name: Nataly Miranda

  • Supervisor Title: Program Manager

  • Phone: (732) 440-9269

  • Address: 150 Court St, Floor 2, Brooklyn, NY 11201

If there is any additional information you need, please email us at support@upchieve.org.

2. We can sign the form your org or school requires

If you have a form that needs a supervisor's signature, email the form to support@upchieve.org with the total number of hours you want verified. Please upload a screenshot of your weekly hour summary, Impact Summary (on your dashboard), or a breakdown of how you calculated your hours for verification.

3. We can provide a signed letter

We can send you a letter on UPchieve letterhead that verifies how many hours you've volunteered with us. Please fill out the form below and we will process your request within 8 business days.


Is your verification letter missing something? Please email us at support@upchieve.org and we can help.
