Way2Help
Way2Help is an overall hub for volunteer opportunities and general information about any given nonprofit organization.
What is Way2Help?
Way2Help was created in 2025. It started when an 8th grader named Quinnie Curtis had to come up with a Community Impact project for school. This gave her the opportunity to begin thinking about a big problem; many teens and kids who want to give back to their communities sometimes don't know where to start. Way2Help seeks to address that problem, serving as a database for anyone to find any nonprofit that fits what they would like to do and shedding light on many organizations that could otherwise go unfound.
