Motivations
Seeing high schoolers around us struggling to meet their volunteer hours requirement or even find those opportunities in their communities, we made it our goal to create an platform that connects local high schoolers seeking volunteer opportunities with adults who are unable to complete certain tasks and what to spend their time doing what they really care about. We believe that this will facilitate task completion while promoting intergenerational connections and community engagement.
Meet the Team
We're an enthusiastic group of teenagers hailing from different corners of the world, united by a common purpose.
We created Gentriva!
