How Selva works

Every good thing you do adds up: in your impact portfolio, and for your company, school or the group you did it with.

Sign upI represent an organization
  1. A person walks over green hills, looking at their phone for something to do nearby

    Find

    An event near you, or something you can do on your own, like planting a tree or a garden.

  2. Three volunteers arrive and plant seedlings together on a sunny hillside

    Show up

    Join an event: tap "Going" and show up with neighbors, classmates or colleagues. Or just start on your own, in your garden, your street or a park.

  3. A person logs what they did on their phone: "Logged · 1 h"

    Log it

    One photo, what you did and your hours. Selva records where and when.

  4. The same 2 hours count in three places: on your portfolio, on River group's page and on Pear Inc.'s page

    It adds up

    On your impact portfolio, split into "at events" and "on your own", and on your company's, school's or group's page.

Where your hours go

Log it once. It adds up for everyone involved.

Take Maya. She works at Pear Inc., and on Thursday she joined a river cleanup hosted by a local group. She logged it once.

What do I need to do?
Just confirm your work or school email once, and your hours add up for them too. Groups you volunteer with show on your profile when you check in at their events.
How is each hour counted?
Once on every page it belongs to: yours, the host's, your company's or school's.
What if I change jobs?
Your portfolio stays yours, every hour of it. Hours you gave while at your old company stay on its page; from your first day at the new one, new hours add up there.
Why everything adds up in hours

A tree, a tutoring session and a river cleanup look very different, yet each one took someone's time. Hours are the one unit every action shares, so they're what a portfolio leads with, and what adds up across people, companies and schools. Trees and square meters still show, exactly as you logged them.

What you can log

Your hours, plus what you actually did

Every action records your hours, plus its own unit: how many trees, how many square meters of plants. More kinds of action are on the way.

  • Tree · how many
  • Plant · m² covered

Features

And everything around it

  • Impact profile

    Every action you've logged, in one place you can share.

  • Events

    Find events near you and sign up in one tap.

  • Your people and organizations

    Follow people and organizations, and join your company or school. The organizations you volunteer with appear on your profile as you take part.

  • Log and rank needs

    Spot something that needs help, like a littered riverbank or a school wall to repaint, and log it. Rank the needs others found, so the most important rise to the top.

  • Top volunteers

    An organization's page shows the people who gave the most hours.

  • Your data

    It belongs to you. Export it anytime.

Why the numbers can be trusted

Two kinds of hours, both backed by something real

Every hour on Selva is either logged by you or confirmed at an event. Here is what stands behind each.

Hours on your own

logged
  • A photo of what you did
  • The place, pinned by your phone
  • The time recorded at that moment

Hours you log on your own count up to 40 a week.

Hours at events

confirmed
  • You check in on site
  • The host confirms who came, and for how long
  • People who were there can say "looks right" or "something's off" about the host's numbers

Confirmed event time counts in full, up to 24 hours per event.

Both kinds count, for you and for your company, school or group. The tag simply tells you how each hour is backed.

Clear labels
Hours you log are marked "logged"; hours from events are marked "confirmed". You always know how an hour is backed.
Real units
Hours, plus what you actually did: trees, square meters, exactly as it happened.
Every total has a list behind it
Each hour on a profile comes from an action or an event you can see.

Questions

Common questions

Is Selva free?

Yes, for individuals. Organizations start free: their page, their public record and their 15 most active people.

Can I log things I do on my own?

Yes. They show as hours "on your own", right next to your event hours.

Can my volunteer hours be confirmed?

Event hours are confirmed by the organizers. Hours on your own carry a photo, a place and a time.

Is there an iPhone or Android app?

Both are coming soon. Until then, you can sign up and use Selva here on the website.

Can my company or school use Selva?

Yes. Event organizers, companies and schools each get a page where their people's hours add up. See who it's for
