So you've just completed a project or call on Catchafire - now what? First of all, congratulations! Giving back is no small feat, and we're here to salute you. Read below for a few options and next steps for staying involved.
Rate Your Experience
After you've completed your project or call, you'll see the option on your dashboard to "Rate experience".
You will be able to provide a public testimonial about your experience. We'll also ask you to rate your experience with Catchafire overall. Rating your experience helps Catchafire and the nonprofit you worked with collect feedback to improve the volunteer experience in the future.
We also love to learn from our volunteers how they prepared for their project or call, and whether or not they plan to stay in touch with the volunteer manager. You can then provide private, anonymous feedback about your experience, if you wish.
Spread the Word on LinkedIn
Many Volunteers like to share their accomplishments with their professional network. We've made it easy to do so by seamlessly integrating with LinkedIn. At a minimum, we recommend selecting the "Share on LinkedIn" button on your dashboard to post about the project you just finished.
We also encourage you to make Catchafire a more permanent part of your profile. This way, folks know you're committed to giving back and are constantly learning and develop your skills in the mean time! We've made this part easy: copy-paste the below bullets into your profile and be sure to fill in the blanks:
