Recognition is always your choice
Automatic recognition to volunteer-controlled recognition
What We Heard
A volunteer shared something important: public shout-outs can actually take away from some volunteers’ sense of fulfillment. His suggestion was simple — ask first.
What Improved
Sharing a volunteer’s story now starts with a question, not a post. And every volunteer’s dashboard now includes a simple recognition choice — whether we may feature you in newsletters and social posts — that can be reviewed or changed at any time.
Why It Matters
Volunteers who prefer quiet service stay comfortable, while those happy to be featured help inspire the next neighbor to join.

“Perhaps ask volunteers if they would mind a social media shoutout first before posting.”
