Some organisations thank their volunteers with perks: a t-shirt, a meal, a drink. Benevolus shows you what you can receive, and you pick them up with your phone.

​
Before you sign up

Open the event. In the Schedule tab, What you get lists the perks offered to all volunteers, with the condition of each one, for example “4 h for Festival t-shirt”. Those reserved for a post show under What you get at this post, when you open one of its time slots.

Follow your progress

Once signed up, open the event’s My space tab. My perks shows:
  • the next perk to reach, and how much time you still need;
  • a bar: solid for your worked hours, light for the hours of your upcoming time slots. Each milestone is a perk, ticked once you reach it;
  • your coupons: one per perk, and one per day for those given every day worked.

If your time slots are not enough for a perk, Benevolus tells you, with a See the schedule link to take more. When a perk unlocks during the event, you get a notification, or an email (see Install the app and get notifications).

Swipe in front of the person at the stand

When you are handed the item, drag the Swipe to confirm bar all the way to the end. The screen turns green: show it to the person handing it over.

The hand-over confirmed

Only swipe when you are handed the item: once swiped, the coupon counts as received.
A perk given every day worked is picked up on the day itself. The others can be picked up until the date shown on the coupon. After that, the coupon shows Not picked up.
No smartphone? A Coordinator or a Responsible can record the hand-over for you.
