The perfect service hour tracker for student service projects
Empower students.

The Hockaday School in Dallas, Texas, empowers young women to lead with purpose through its Dr. William B. Dean Institute for Social Impact. The Institute connects classroom learning to real-world issues, encouraging students to design creative solutions, collaborate with local organizations, and make a tangible difference in their communities.
To make tracking and verifying those experiences easier, the Institute uses MobileServe. Students log their service hours and reflections directly in the app, giving them a simple way to document their impact and growth over time. Administrators use the Goals feature to set hour requirements by grade level, monitor progress, and export detailed reports that capture the full scope of the school’s service work.
When each class graduates, administrators archive that group in MobileServe while students retain their individual accounts—allowing them to continue logging service in college and beyond. By simplifying the logistics of service tracking, MobileServe helps Hockaday focus on what matters most: inspiring students to lead lives of purpose, empathy, and impact.

Mercy Academy, a Catholic high school for girls in Louisville, KY, uses MobileServe for its Service Learning & Leadership Program. This experience-based program focuses on serving vulnerable populations in the community through one-on-one service and social action. All Mercy Academy students participate in this four-year program.
Mercy Academy has used MobileServe since December 2015, and with more than 26,000 hours logged, Mercy students have provided an economic value of $618,649! A key component of the program is “Summer Immersion,” which encourages students to continue service work during summer break. In the summer of 2016, Mercy Academy students recorded nearly 2,000 service hours!
When logging their time on MobileServe, students choose from five program-specific service categories, and are required to have their logs verified by a supervisor at the service organization. The Service Learning & Leadership Coordinator at Mercy also approves each submission and uses the students’ MobileServe logs to issue grades for the program.
MobileServe’s approval system allows the Coordinator to provide reasons for rejecting logs, which are emailed to the students with a link to make corrections. This process makes it easy to ensure every log is categorized correctly, so that students fulfill their program requirements.
