How Badges & Achievements Work

Badges are ActionGrid\'s way of recognizing your contributions. They show up on your profile, celebrate milestones, and give you something to work toward. Here\'s the full rundown.

What Are Badges?

Badges are digital achievements you earn by volunteering. Each badge represents a milestone — your first shift, your 100th door knocked, a week-long streak, and more. They appear on your profile for everyone to see.

Your achievements page displays all earned and available badges

Badge Types

Badges fall into a few categories:

Activity Badges

Earned by doing specific volunteer activities:

• First Timer — complete your first volunteer shift

• Door Knocker — complete your first canvass shift

• Phone Pro — complete your first phone bank shift

• Texter — complete your first text bank shift

• Rally Goer — attend your first rally or community event

Milestone Badges

Earned by hitting cumulative totals:

• 10 Doors, 50 Doors, 100 Doors, 500 Doors — door knocking milestones

• 100 Calls, 500 Calls — phone banking milestones

• 500 Texts, 1000 Texts — text banking milestones

• 10 Hours, 50 Hours, 100 Hours — total volunteer hours

Streak Badges

Earned by volunteering consistently:

• Streak Starter — volunteer 2 weeks in a row

• On a Roll — volunteer 4 weeks in a row

• Unstoppable — volunteer 8 weeks in a row

• Legendary — volunteer 12 weeks in a row

Special Badges

Awarded for unique contributions:

• Recruiter — invite someone who completes their first shift

• Community Builder — join 3 or more communities

• Election Day Hero — volunteer on election day

Badges are organized into activity, milestone, streak, and special categories

Badge Levels

Some badges have bronze, silver, and gold levels. For example, the door knocking badge starts as bronze (10 doors), upgrades to silver (100 doors), and becomes gold (500 doors). Your profile always shows your highest level.
