Not ready to use our new volunteer software?
You can still sign in and log your hours the old way until July 1st, 2026.
What is Better Impact?
Better Impact is an easy-to-use online platform where you can manage your own volunteer journey, from signing up for shift to tracking your hours, all in one convenient place. It’s secure, user-friendly, and works on your computer, tablet, or smartphone.
What Can You Do With Better Impact?
Here’s what you’ll be able to do once you’re set up:
View and sign up for upcoming shifts with just a few clicks
Easily log and track your volunteer hours to see how much of an impact you’ve made
Access quizzes and trainings specific for Master Recyclers
Review the Master Recycler Handbook which is now more flexible and dynamic
Update your contact information anytime it changes
Receive important messages and reminders from us, so you’re always in the loop
Easy Access Anytime, Anywhere
You can log in from your computer or download the MyImpact app to stay connected on the go. Whether you’re checking your schedule from home or logging hours right after a shift, it’s all at your fingertips.
Better impact will not only make things more convenient for you but also help us better support your contributions and recognize the incredible difference you make. It will also reduce the amount of staff time spent logging your volunteer hours, meaning more time for planning tours, speaker sessions, and other continuing education opportunities for you! What’s not to love about that?
