Support YouthVolunteer
We are a non-profit registry that certifies youth volunteer service — free of charge, forever. Donations from individuals and organizations keep us independent and operating.
Why we need your support
YouthVolunteer operates on a lean non-profit model. We don't charge students, families, schools, or organizations — and we never will. That means we rely entirely on donor generosity to cover operations, maintain infrastructure, and grow the registry.
Keep it free — forever
We promise students and families will never pay a fee. Donor support makes that possible.
Verify more students
Every donation helps us process more certifications, respond to more colleges, and maintain permanent records.
Fund the scholarship program
We're building toward an annual scholarship for Youth Service Leader Award recipients. Your gift moves that forward.
