Awards Tab

This tab contains award information on the volunteer. You can also add, edit and delete awards.

When you keep track of your volunteer's hours worked through the Volunteer Module, you can assign those hours towards awards. Personalizing your volunteer recognition component of your program is the best form of showing appreciation for the contribution of volunteers. For example, For every 10 hours a volunteer works, they recieve one ticket. You can use this tab to assign the award and keep track of how many awards they have recieved.

The awards available for selection are defined in the Volunteer Awards Code Table. Click here, for more information.
