One of the latest mobile and web
apps, Reward Volunteers, gives cash and prizes to volunteers who log their
hours and post to Facebook. In this way, Reward Volunteers encourages deeds of
charity with an incentive to win. Jen Neary, the Cabot Director of
Marketing/Integrated Services, adds another dimension to the purpose of the
app—its ability to inspire others. By posting volunteer experiences on
Facebook, Reward Volunteers “Recognizes and rewards those who give their time…to
make their communities better, while encouraging others to get involved.” If kindness is contagious, Reward Volunteers is
helping spread it like an epidemic. In fact, in just the first five months of
the application, volunteers logged more than 44,000 hours at over 800
organizations, improving lives of many while inspiring others to do the same. Volunteers
devote their time and energy to improve the lives of others, isn’t it time to
improve their lives?
To our wonderful Met Council
volunteers-- to be eligible for prizes, use the Reward Volunteers website (or
mobile app), connect with our Facebook page, and record your hours. Good luck!
