Certificates offer several benefits to employees who have earned badges:

1. Recognition and validation: Certificates serve as tangible proof of your achievements and can be shared with others to showcase your skills and contributions. Certificates are a potential talking point in employee performance reviews.
2. Professional development: Certificates provide a way to document your growth and progress in your volunteering and donation experiences. They can be added to your portfolio or resume, demonstrating your commitment to social impact.
3. Networking opportunities: Sharing your certificates on professional platforms like LinkedIn can attract the attention of potential employers, colleagues, and organizations that value social responsibility.
4. Personal satisfaction: Certificates serve as a reminder of the positive change you have made in your community and the difference you have made in the lives of others.

By earning badges and obtaining certificates, you can showcase your dedication to social impact and inspire others to get involved in meaningful causes.

When you earn a Badge, you will have the option to share on various social media platforms, including LinkedIn, X (formerly known as Twitter), and Facebook.

To add a Badge to your LinkedIn page, click the LinkedIn button at the bottom of the ‘Badges’ notification (see below) and follow the prompts.

The Certification Number can be found at the bottom-left of your Certificate!
