Per-hour logging
Hourly activity types record shifts accurately — set-up, greeter, clean-up — at whatever rate you assign.
Who it's for
Count every hour. Recognize every volunteer.
Festival crews, event corps, and standing volunteer teams — log hours as they happen, then turn them into recognition people actually feel.
How volunteer programs use EngageUSA
Volunteer programs use EngageUSA to log hours and recognize contributors: per-hour activity types capture shifts accurately, QR check-in handles event-day sign-in, and leaderboards, milestone badges, and a rewards store turn accumulated hours into recognition.
The problem
The hours get given. They just don't get counted.
- Shift sign-in on a clipboard that has to be typed up later
- Hours estimated at year-end instead of recorded as they happen
- Recognition goes to the volunteers who happen to be most visible
- No report to show a funder or board what volunteers contributed
How it fits
The configuration that fits a volunteer corps
Event-day QR check-in
Post a code at the volunteer table and let sign-in handle itself.
Milestone badges
Recognize 10, 50, and 100-hour contributors automatically as they cross each line.
A rewards store
Convert hours into apparel, event tickets, or perks you choose and price.
Seasonal programs
Run a festival corps as its own group with its own leaderboard and appreciation store.
Contribution reporting
Total hours by volunteer, activity, and period — exportable for boards and funders.
The outcome
What changes
- Hours are recorded the day they're given, not reconstructed later
- Recognition reaches the quiet volunteers, not just the visible ones
- You can report total volunteer contribution with confidence
- Returning volunteers see their history and their standing
Same platform, same price
This is a configuration of the same EngageUSA platform chambers run — not a separate product. Flat rate per chamber. Unlimited members on every plan.

Questions we hear.
Can volunteers log their own hours?
Yes. Volunteers log hours from any phone, and can backdate an entry if they forget on the day. Coordinators can also log or adjust hours on someone's behalf.
Is there a per-volunteer cost?
No. Pricing is flat per organization with unlimited members, so a festival corps that doubles in size doesn't change what you pay.
