Honoring Youth Volunteers
and Leaders of Tomorrow

  • YouthVolunteer is the independent registry that certifies and accumulates a student's volunteer service hours across many years. Each service hour is verified within strict guidelines by supervising organizations and approved by us.
  • Students can build a highly credible and authentic service record — completely free of charge — while earning community awards and recognition based on service milestones. Institutions can trust us to provide the most accurate snapshot of each student's volunteer service history.

Built for Trust. Designed for the Long Run.

We create a multi-year record institutions can rely on.

Third-party verified

Every service time submission is confirmed and digitally signed by an adult supervisor in the organization the volunteer service was performed in, then reviewed and approved by our team.

Institutional credibility

A permanent, independently certified record trusted by institutions — Students can request their record be shared with entity of their choice, or cite their registry ID on a college application.

Free. No exceptions.

Recognition earned through volunteer service alone. We will never charge students or families a fee, and rely on generous donors to support our operations. This also ensures our independence as the certifying organization.

Recognition Awards

Once students create a service record in our database and start accumulating certified volunteer hours, they become eligible for recognition through our organization. Not just the hours contributed in one single year, but all cumulative hours count toward recognition. Start early — every hour stays on your permanent record.
