For me, doing mitzvot has always been a really big part of my life. It really connects me with my community and helps me show the Jewish values and family values that I’ve learned.
But for a lot of young people who want to do community service, who want to give back, they just don’t know where to start.
Impact Lynk is a technology platform connecting high school teens to local nonprofit events. Wherever a high school teen is located, they can go on the app and see a wide variety of community service opportunities.
Getting involved is as easy as a click of a button. In just under a year, Impact Lynk has expanded across the US and abroad. We’ve logged over 13,000 hours of teen community service. We’ve also worked with 27 nonprofit partners and have 17 chapter heads that recruit volunteers and reach out to nonprofits to post events.
Just to see so many people involved is really gratifying. Impact Lynk is something that I started here in the Bay Area, but now there are so many teens stepping up as leaders and making an impact on their local communities.
