Civic Impact

Build verifiable proof of how you made your community or world better.

A path for people who take direct civic action — raising funds for causes, completing community projects, taking environmental action, supporting peers in need, and delivering advocacy campaigns. Each outcome is a distinct impact type, not a progression: pick what matters to you.
