❖ Heads up! This article is intended for Volunteers. Are you a volunteer looking for support with your volunteer account, or have questions about a specific site? See the How to Get Help with Your Volunteer Account section of the How to Find Your Organization's Site article for more information!
If a site awards badges for reaching certain benchmarks, like reaching 20 hours of volunteerism, then you receive an email with a shareable badge each time you reach those benchmarks! You can view your benchmarks from the View Profile area.
These benchmarks appear as badges on your profile and volunteer resume. You can then share those achievements on social media or wherever! Here it is on the volunteer resume:
Badges
Each benchmark on your site requires that you submit a certain number of volunteer hours within a specified time frame. On some sites, your hours may require agency approval before they're considered for the benchmark. To earn a badge:
Submit your volunteer hours promptly once you've completed the volunteer work. If you don't submit them within a month after the end of the benchmark's timeframe, you won't get the badge, and the benchmark won't be added to your profile.
