Membership

This is your official badge, explorer! A Membership links you (the student, advisor, mentor, or editor) to a specific Path within a Program. It tracks your progress, roles, and assignments as you move forward on your grand quest.

Guardian

Your Guardian is your cheerleader and supporter! Guardians can keep an eye on your progress in all your Memberships and may be called upon to validate certain Tasks. They’re always there to help you on your way.

Log

This is your hero’s journal, the core of your Glave experience! A Log captures every bit of progress you make, from completing tasks to clocking hours in your Path. It’s your record of epic deeds and will show you and your mentors just how far you’ve come. Some Log entries track hours, while others mark Tasks as done or in progress, depending on the validation process.

Form

A Form is a container of sections and questions. These questions are linked to Log entries, allowing you to track your progress and share your discoveries. When a Task is linked to a Form, it magically appears on your Log submission page, guiding you through each step.

Answer

Your Answers are stored specially in our database, and links to questions in a Form are recorded in Log entries, helping track your progress as you complete Tasks and Assignments.

Message

Stay connected, adventurer! Messages in Glave are used for internal communications. They show up on your dashboard and are emailed to everyone linked to a Membership. If a message is tied to a Path or Program, it becomes an announcement, ensuring your whole crew stays informed.

StressCheck

Feeling the pressure of your adventures? StressCheck lets you log your stress levels once per day. Teachers and managers can keep an eye on stress trends and see how things stack up from year to year. It’s all about making sure you’re ready to conquer the next challenge!

Program

Welcome to the world of programs! Glave is home to Senior Project, Service Hours, and VECTOR programs, each with its own unique set of Paths. Choose your program and your path to glory!

Path

Your Path is the road you’ve chosen within a Program. It could be based on your grade level (for Service Hours) or a focus area (for Senior Project and VECTOR). Your Membership links you to a specific Path and tracks all the amazing progress you make.

Assignment

Assignment or Task? They’re the same for students, so don’t sweat it! An Assignment is your mission, the next challenge on your path. For managers, Tasks can be reused across different Paths, while Assignments are the specific applications of those Tasks.

Task

A Task is what you’ll need to complete to move forward. Some Tasks require you to log hours, while others are simple check-offs. You’ll often need validation from those in your circle—your advisor, mentor, or even your parent—to complete the Task. If your Task is a “Mentor Invite,” Glave will send the call to action, inviting the mentor to join your adventure.

School, Subscription, and Plan

Here’s a fun fact: Glave is built to scale! Right now, we’re piloting with one school, but the system is ready to grow. Schools manage their Subscriptions and Plans within Glave, laying the foundation for your epic experiences.

BulkAdd

For the managers out there, BulkAdd is your trusty assistant for adding large numbers of students to Programs and Paths. With a few clicks, you’re ready to embark on new adventures with your team.
