My school required 20 volunteer hours to graduate, and I found this program just in time. It was so easy to track everything online, and I was able to get my certificate right away. Super helpful!

I needed volunteer hours for my criminal justice class but couldn’t commute because of my work schedule. The Foundation of Change helped me complete everything online in a meaningful way. I learned a lot, and my professor accepted my hours with no problem.

My younger brother was required to complete service hours after a minor legal issue. We found this site, and it made the whole process much easier. It gave him structure, purpose, and a clean way to meet his court requirements without judgment.
