What is the difference between “service hours” and “impacts”
Service hours and impacts go hand-in-hand, but there are a few differences. Impacts: Every time you volunteer or serve a social impact initiative, you are making an Impact. Adding impacts, or “sharing information about what you did in the community that made an impact of some kind,” empowers you to record your engagement with the community. Impacts help provide data for reporting purposes, to get feedback on the quality of the experience, and to better understand the impact of the work and how we are moving the needle. Learn more about Impacts Hours: These are your total hours you served, including verified and unverified across different impact types, including volunteering, trainings, meetings, etc.
