Helping Hands

Helping Hands is a grassroots, youth-led organization that works to increase youth community engagement through technological platforms as well as in-person activities. The organization serves as a platform to match students with volunteer placements in organizations of their interest with a special focus on developing the skills the students would like to attain. On the technological aspect, Helping Hands consists of three main, interconnected features: volunteer matching, tracking, and feedback. In-person, Helping Hands performs workshops, provides mentoring services, incorporates youth into councils, conducts volunteer fairs, shares valuable stories and helps student entrepreneurs start their own clubs and organizations.
