84 - Altruize

/

Did you know that service hours, either in companies, or in the community (think about HS and college folks) are not tracked in any standardized way? Today’s guest knew that, and created an App to solve that problem! In honor of National Volunteer Month (thanks, Kelly!), we’re happy to introduce you to Nicole, Sdao, the founder of Altruize - the FitBit for altruism!

Things we loved:

  • Employees who participate in their own volunteering, are more engaged at work

  • A 100% no is better than a 50% yes

  • Standardizing the service hours folks complete help make college admissions more equitable than the current self-reporting system
