How are volunteering minutes verified?
When organisers publish an opportunity with geo check-in/out, roster members check in inside the venue window within the organizer’s geofence (and accuracy thresholds when strict rules apply). That recorded time contributes to verified minutes used for eligibility rules before certificates are issued by administrators.
How do participation certificates work?
Eligible volunteers may receive certificates issued through the platform once verification rules are met—including minimum verified minutes and issuance policies. Anyone can validate a token using the public verification URL /certificates/verify/{token} (replace {token} with the code printed on the certificate). Issued certificates also show a verify link in your volunteer area.
Volunteer opportunities are published separately when programmes are open for registration.
