Easy 40 was built by Edwin, a grade 10 student in Ottawa, after watching classmates struggle to find volunteer opportunities that fit their schedule. Useful listings were scattered across organization websites, social posts, and directories built for adults. Easy 40 gathers the options, explains the next step, and leaves acceptance and hour documentation with the organization and school.
“Get the hours. Skip the headache.”
