 **Ticket Description:**
 Currently, when a community member is selected as a Volunteer (for
 WordCamps or other events), there is no acknowledgment shown on their
 WordPress.org user profile especially if the user has volunteered before.

 This is different from other roles such as Speaker, which is displayed on
 the profile and helps highlight a user’s contributions.

 **Proposal:**
 Add "Volunteer" as a recognized role that appears on WordPress.org
 profiles, in the same way "Speaker" is displayed. a message like
 ''**"Confirmed as a Volunteer for WordCamp CityName Year"**''

 **Benefits:**

 Provides recognition to volunteers for their contributions on the user
 profile's Activity info.

 Encourages more people to volunteer by making the contribution visible and
 appreciated.

 Brings consistency between how Speakers and Volunteers are represented.

 **Additional Notes:**

 Could use the same UI pattern currently used for the Speaker activity.
