What does the "Impact Value" on my profile mean?
What does the "Impact Value" on my profile mean?
We know that putting numbers to volunteer hours will never do them justice, but it is one way to show the contribution that individuals and organizations make in our communities. The “Impact Value” helps acknowledge individuals like you who dedicate their time, talents, and energy to making a difference. It also allows charitable organizations to quantify the enormous value that volunteers provide.

What is a user group?
What is a user group?
A user group is a way to group qualifying volunteers under a single "umbrella" so that volunteers and organizations can engage community initiatives as a group and measure group engagement. A user group may be comprised of individuals from an area, division, department, ERG, or other group at the Lab whose members volunteer as agents of their larger affiliation. It can also be a group of selected volunteers who have needed expertise or training in an area (for example, volunteers who are scientists). Click here to read more about user groups.
