I recently interviewed Amy von Kaenel, CEO and Founder, of Volunteer Crowd. Volunteer Crowd is an awesome resource for Middle and High School students to gain volunteering experiences. Not only can students search for local volunteering opportunities by zip code, but you can even participate in Zoom based internships all over the USA with the platform. This provides great functionality during the Covid-19 epidemic for students. Click here to sign up for Volunteer Crowd, Volunteer Opportunities for Teens.

Being a College & Career Counselor I understand the hurdles that face students in finding and gaining volunteer experiences. Volunteer Crowd can help students get over the twin hurdles of searching for opportunities and earning volunteering hours by providing a single place to search, manage, and earn hours. Volunteer Crowd has relationships with Non-Profit Organizations all over the United States to provide high quality volunteer experiences for students. Students can manage all their volunteering hours and download them in an easy-to-read spreadsheet that can be used for IB programs, scholarship applications, college applications, and letters of recommendation requests. Finally, student can actually earn hours from the comfort of their home with Zoom based internships.
