Last year, we changed the way we do Hero Points. Back in the day, we used to reward every action with 3 points. Obviously, that had to go. We never stop evolving, so we’re giving Hero Points another makeover 🥳 We're ensuring that in-person volunteering is rewarded accordingly, so we’re increasing the number of points you can earn for these types of actions.
Volunteering can look different for everyone and we want to make tracking it as easy as possible! Our quick ‘mission builder’ allows you to create your own custom missions.
