At Rainbows United, our volunteers are the heart of everything we do. From lending a hand in our gardens to cheering on kids at Camp Woodchuck, your time and energy make a lasting difference for children with special needs and their families. To make volunteering even easier and more rewarding, we’re excited to announce that we are now using Civic Champs to track volunteer hours!
What is Civic Champs?
Civic Champs is a simple, user-friendly platform that helps volunteers:
- Sign up for opportunities quickly and easily
- Check in and out with just a tap
- Track and view hours in real time
- Stay up to date with the latest volunteer needs and events
This means no more paper sign-in sheets or wondering how many hours you’ve contributed—everything is recorded automatically.
Why the Change?
We know your time is valuable, and we want to make volunteering as seamless as possible. By moving to Civic Champs, we can:
- Save you time when signing in for shifts
- Recognize your contributions more accurately
- Communicate upcoming opportunities faster
- Share impact reports with our volunteers and community partners
