Getting Young People Into Volunteering Shouldn't Be This Hard

A platform that helps organisations connect with young people who want to make a difference.

The Problem

Young people want to volunteer. Organisations need volunteers. And yet the gap between the two keeps growing. Recruitment is time-consuming, engagement drops off, and the admin overhead of managing volunteers takes energy away from the work that actually matters.

Most organisations don’t have a youth engagement problem; they have a connection problem.


The Solution

Impactful bridges the gap

Impactful is a volunteering engagement platform that makes it easy for organisations to connect with young people. Less time recruiting. Less admin. More impact.

  • 01Reach young people where they are, not where you wish they were
  • 02Match volunteers to opportunities that fit their interests and availability
  • 03Keep them engaged beyond the first session

Why I Built This

I’ve spent 30 years building software from enterprise platforms to community tools. Eighteen months ago, I started building Impactful because I saw the same problem everywhere: organisations struggling to reach young people who genuinely want to help and young people wanting to help but disillusioned with the approach.

I understand the technology and I understand the cause. Impactful exists because I believe the gap between willing volunteers and the organisations that need them is a problem worth solving.


Work With Me

I’m looking for partners who care about youth volunteering
