This feature connects people and businesses looking to volunteer with those in need of their help. As someone working with volunteers, you can measure the impact of each volunteer and simply create your requests for volunteers. As a volunteer, you can choose opportunities from across your region and make direct arrangements with the individual or organisation. You can also add and manage your own opportunities and see your volunteer hours logged within your social CV.

• Visit the activity stream to view all volunteering opportunities.
• Click on the opportunity you are interested in.
• Press the 'Volunteer to this' button.
• Complete the pop-up form and include a message about why you're interested in the opportunity.

Community badges verify and identify the trusted members of a community. The badges will differ depending on your platform and are awarded by the administration team using their own application criteria. You can apply for a badge through your admin team by contacting them directly or by following the application process detailed on your platform.
