Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between formal and informal volunteering on Helpious?”
Formal volunteering is structured and usually coordinated by organizations. It may require training, scheduled shifts, or longer commitments.
Informal volunteering is casual and flexible—things like helping neighbors, quick one-off tasks, or spontaneous community contributions.
Which features are free now?
All core features are free: browsing opportunities, signing up to volunteer, logging hours, and earning XP. Premium tools (like advanced analytics for organizations or enhanced visibility) may come later, but the essentials stay free.
How do XP and certificates work?
You earn XP whenever you log hours, complete activities, or achieve milestones.
Certificates are automatically generated once you hit certain thresholds (e.g., total volunteer hours, skill achievements, or badge milestones).
These certificates can be downloaded and shared with schools, employers, or added to your portfolio.
When will ID verification and org accounts launch?
ID verification is in testing now and will be released soon to improve trust and safety across the platform.
Organization accounts are planned for the next release cycle so that groups can officially manage opportunities, track volunteers, and issue recognition.
