Achievements & Leaderboard¶
Recognize volunteer contributions with unlockable achievement badges and competitive leaderboards.
How It Works¶
Achievements are checked automatically when relevant actions occur (e.g., signing up for a shift, completing a canvass session, accepting a friend request). When a user's progress meets the threshold, the badge is unlocked and an in-app notification is sent.

Progress Tracking¶
Each badge displays a progress bar showing current progress toward the threshold. Already-unlocked badges show the unlock date and the progress value at unlock time or the current count (whichever is higher).
Leaderboards¶
The Achievements page includes a leaderboard tab with three ranking types:
- Canvass — ranked by total canvass visits recorded
- Shifts — ranked by total confirmed shift signups
- Campaigns — ranked by number of distinct campaigns participated in
Leaderboard entries show rank, user name, and score. Users who have disabled "Show in Friend Activity" in their privacy settings are excluded from leaderboard rankings to respect their privacy choices.
Volunteer Stats¶
The Achievements page also displays aggregate stats for the current user:
- Confirmed shift signups
- Completed canvass sessions
- Total canvass visits
- Advocacy emails sent
- Campaigns participated in
- Friend count
- Group memberships
