Good People: Volunteers Making a Difference

Welcome to Good People, the mobile app that connects you to volunteer opportunities that transform communities and ignite purpose. As a Good People volunteer, you’re part of a movement that turns compassion into action. Whether you’re joining as a family or flying solo, now is the time to make an impact. Here’s how our two types of volunteers—Family and Individual—bring change to life.

Our Good People: Who You Are

1. Family Volunteers: Building Bonds Through Service

Your Role: You’re a family—parents, kids, grandparents, or extended kin—eager to serve together. From park clean-ups to charity builds, you create memories while making a difference.

What You Do:

  • Discover family-friendly volunteer events tailored for all ages.

  • Use the Good People mobile app to find, sign up, and track your service hours.

  • If your child’s school or teacher uses Good People, say goodbye to handwritten permission slips sent home. Parents receive, sign, and manage permission slips right in the app, with reminders and updates to simplify your life.

  • Share meaningful experiences that strengthen your family’s connection and values.

Why It Matters:

  • Create lasting memories while teaching kids the power of giving back.

  • Find events that fit your family’s schedule and passions with just a few taps.

  • Build a shared sense of purpose that uplifts your family spirit.

2. Individual Volunteers: Champions of Change

Your Role: You’re an individual of any age, from students to retirees, driven to make a difference on your own terms. You join events that align with your passions, like food drives or mentorship programs.

What You Do:

  • Browse and join volunteer opportunities that match your interests and availability.

  • Track your impact through the Good People app’s QR code and STATS features.

  • Connect with others who share your commitment to community.

Why It Matters:

  • Fuel your personal growth and sense of purpose through meaningful service.

  • Access a variety of events to fit your life, from one-hour projects to ongoing commitments.

  • Become part of a network that celebrates every step you take toward change.

Why Volunteer with Good People?

Volunteering with Good People is your chance to make a real impact while doing what you love. Here’s why now is the time to join our movement:

  • Find Opportunities with Ease: Our mobile app makes discovering volunteer events effortless. Filter by location, cause, or time, and sign up in seconds—whether it’s a tree-planting day or a school supply drive.

  • Match Your Skills and Passions: The Good People app suggests exciting events tailored to your unique skills—like leadership, creativity, or tech—and your passions, such as helping the environment or supporting education. Find opportunities that feel just right for you.

  • Make a Difference Now: Every moment is a chance to act. With Good People, you have the tools to turn your passion into impact today, building stronger communities one event at a time.

  • Why It’s Vital: Your service fuels hope and unity. From supporting local causes to inspiring others, your time creates a legacy of compassion that shapes the future.

Using the QR Code: Your Key to Impact

The Good People app uses QR codes to make volunteering seamless and impactful. Here’s how it works and why it matters:

  • How to Scan: When you arrive at an event, look for the Good People QR code—displayed on a poster, sign, or a coordinator’s device. Open the app, tap the QR scan feature, and scan the code to check in. Your attendance is logged instantly.

  • Why Accuracy Counts: Signing up accurately ensures the event runs smoothly. Too many or too few participants can disrupt the experience for volunteers and organizers, and we want every event to shine. Plus, accurate check-ins ensure only those who attend receive credit—no one gets recognition they didn’t earn.

  • Track Your Impact: Scanning the QR code logs your hours and event location automatically. Access this data in the STATS section of the app’s dropdown menu, perfect for resume building or job applications. The Report function lets you generate detailed summaries of your service for personal or professional use.

Staying Safe While Serving

Your safety is a priority. Most Good People events are carefully planned by trusted Good Places, but it’s smart to stay mindful:

  • Check event details, like location and activities, in the app before signing up.

  • If anything seems unclear or you have questions about an event’s legitimacy, reach out directly to the Good Place hosting it. Their contact info is in the event listing.

  • Trust your instincts and choose events that feel right for you or your family. We’re here to make volunteering rewarding and secure.

Capture Your Memories

Every volunteer event is a chance to create moments that matter. With Good People, you can save those memories by posting photos from your events right in the app:

  • Upload pictures to a dedicated spot in your account to cherish your impact, like planting trees or packing care kits.

  • Your photos are private, stored just for you to relive your experiences. There’s no option to share within the app—we leave that to other platforms, so you can share your story your way.

The Good People Difference

With the Good People mobile app, volunteering is more than an act—it’s a movement. From finding the perfect event to tracking your hours for resumes, we’ve got you covered. Now is the moment to step up, connect with your community, and let your service inspire others.
