We are excited to announce that the Firefly Initiative was recently featured in the Clarence Valley Independent, recognizing our work in empowering volunteers and organisations with a world-first program that rewards the time volunteers dedicate to making a positive impact on their community.
What is the Firefly Initiative?
The Firefly Initiative is designed to recognise, reward, and elevate the contributions volunteers make to society. By acknowledging their hours and efforts, we aim to retain and inspire them to keep contributing to causes close to their hearts. Volunteers can now use their hours for discounts, gift cards, and donations to support local businesses across Australia.
Key Benefits for Volunteers and Organisations:
Reward Every Hour: Volunteers log their hours and are rewarded with benefits such as discounts, gift cards, and more. This recognition fosters a sense of accomplishment and continuous engagement in the community.
Empowering the Community: By encouraging businesses to support the efforts of volunteers, the Firefly Initiative creates a circular economy where everyone benefits.
Bridging the Gap: As reported by Co-Founder Darryl Vine, nearly half of volunteers had stopped participating due to feeling unappreciated or overwhelmed. With the Firefly Initiative, we aim to address this by providing tangible rewards for their efforts.
Exciting Upgrades and New Features
We’re also thrilled to announce the launch of a new app that makes tracking volunteer hours easier than ever! The app allows volunteers to track their impact and receive real-time rewards. More features coming soon.
Join the Movement
We invite volunteers, organisations, and businesses to join the Firefly Initiative and help us build a stronger community through recognition and engagement. Together, we can make a difference.
