Hour Commitment

As part of our recognition of the Mensa Honor Society's 10^th anniversary, we created the Hour Commitment initiative with the challenge of reaching 10,000 service hours in 2023. In conjunction with the Mensa Day of Service and National Make A Difference Day, we invited participants to commit just one hour (or more) to better the community and the lives of others. Through the hard work and dedication of our amazing volunteers, we not only met but exceeded our goal with a grand total of 10,878 service hours!

We salute all of the volunteers who gave selflessly of their time and efforts to touch the lives of others and make our world a better place. Thank you.

In recognition of the achievements and service of Young Mensans, the Mensa and Junior Mensa Honor Societies are open to students in 5th through 12th grades who meet membership qualifications for both American Mensa and the honor society. You must be a member of American Mensa to qualify for the Honor Society.

The ideals of the Honor Society are integrity,
intellectual curiosity, academic commitment, and service. Youth who belong to the society are eligible to earn honor cords, as well as receive a certificate of membership.

If you’re a Young Mensan and already a member of the Mensa Honor Society, you can download a renewal application and a volunteer service hours log.
