Inside points
Inside points are earned when you complete community service on behalf of NHS, meaning that you signed up for an event with NHS either at the meeting or with Mrs. Ennis. Usually, your points are recorded by a designated member known as a chairperson. You will know this chairperson when you sign up for an event, and you will collaborate with this person up to the day of the event. The chairperson is responsible for recording the points you earn and it is his or her duty to submit these points to Mrs. Ennis.

Outside points
Outside points are earned when you complete community service on your own, whether it is tutoring your neighbor's 5th grade son or volunteering at a hospital. Usually, your points will need to be confirmed by a good source, such as an adult. For example, you would need the signature of the person in charge of the student volunteer service at the hospital you volunteer at in order for your points to count.
In any case, you cannot use the points you earn for NHS for another club, because that would be considerred cheating.

Point disputes
Should you run into any problems with points that may be rewarded to you unfairly by a chairperson, you have the opportunity to protest this by contacting the chairperson, Mrs. Ennis, or the secretary in charge. Chairpersons usually will tell you how many points you earned for that day before the volunteering event ends.
