Get recognised for your volunteering efforts with new digital credentials

This month, King’s Volunteering awarded their first set of new digital credentials to recognise and thank you for the time you’ve given to making the world a better place. 

To receive your digital certificate and badge, all you need to do is log your volunteering hours and get them approved on the King’s Volunteering platform. There are different credentials for the number of hours you have volunteered, as below.

The King’s Volunteering credential will be awarded to those who have logged any amount of volunteering hours on the King’s Volunteering platform. 

The Remarkable Contribution credential will be awarded to those who have logged 20 volunteering hours on the King’s Volunteering platform. 

The Exceptional Contribution credential will be awarded to those who have logged 100 volunteering hours on the King’s Volunteering platform. 

Here are a few ways you can share and use your digital credentials:

• Sharing them on social media
• Adding them to your email signature
• Adding them to your LinkedIn profile

Any student or staff member at King’s who has volunteered is eligible to receive a credential.

You will be eligible for different credentials depending on how many hours you have logged (see details of each credential above).

1. Login or sign up to King’s Volunteering’s online platform using your King’s email.
2. Click on the menu button at the top left of the page.
3. Select ‘Log hours’ and answer the prompt questions.
4. Submit. 

During this process, you will be asked to include the email of someone from the organisation who can approve your hours. Once they have been approved, you will be eligible to receive your digital credentials.

King’s Volunteering will award digital credentials in the first week of January, April, July and October.
