About Us
What We Do
Our mission is to provide a platform where people can connect and help while staying safe.
We aim to help everyone do what they can to fight the effects of the virus, aid people and organizations affected by COVID-19, and help people adjust to life in quarantine.

What will volunteering
with us look like?
1. Sign Up
After signing up for an IWC account, you’ll get to do a personalized quiz for us to get to know you better. This includes your hobbies, interests, and skillset.
2. Find Opportunities
Based on your answers, we’ll recommend some opportunities customized for your time commitment, abilities, and your interest in each of our cohorts.
3. Get Connected
We’ll then provide you with information on how to get started, connect you to our partner organizations, and present you with volunteering initiatives offered by other organizations.
4. Receive Guidance
As you make your way through an opportunity, we’ll guide you through any questions and speed bumps. As you complete each assignment, you can update your volunteer hour form in your IWC account.
How Can You Help?
Whether you have an hour, a few markers, or a skill to share— we'll make it count. Sign up for or log in to your IWC account to start making an impact.
