This document describes an incentive program for volunteers of MAP-Works at Salem State University. Volunteers earn experience points for their time which allows them to level up through 6 levels. Each level corresponds to a certain number of hours worked and unlocks a new prize such as a t-shirt or sweatshirt. Volunteers earn 15 experience points every 15 minutes which totals 60 points for an hour. Some events may offer double points. Levels require 240, 480, 720, 960, 1200, and 1440 experience points respectively. The program aims to gamify volunteering and boost engagement with rewards.

How Helping MAP-Works
Helps You!

2. Experience Points
 Much like in a video game,
working for MAP-Works helps
you level up and earn rewards!
 Every 15 minutes volunteered is
equivalent to 15 experience
points; therefore, 1 hour is
equivalent to 60 experience
points.

3. Experience Points
 Some events will be worth
up to double experience
points!
 All Graduate Fellows will
be given an extra 60
experience points they
may give out to
volunteers throughout the
year.

Management.
 Hours will be verified
either by Jesus, a
Graduate Fellow, or
designated members of
OBB.

7. Night Tabling Shifts
 You will be responsible for
picking up supplies
before the office closes
and keep them in your
room, the RD office, or
the front desk until
morning, when you will
return them to the MAP-
Works office.
 Failure to do so forfeits the
experience points you
would have earned that
night.

 Students will have the
opportunity to pick up a Did It
button from you once you’ve
verified their survey completion.

campus, they have the
opportunity to get tickets for
weekly drawings, which will be
handed out by the entire MAP-
Works team and OBB.

11. Referral Cards

the survey already may pick up a
referral card to give to a friend.
