Volunteering Through Project Helping

Outside of being a law student at Denver University's Sturm College of Law, Jacob Scholl's interests include volunteering. As a Kynd leader for Project Helping, Jacob Scholl organizes the monthly activity calendar.

Project Helping is an organization that supports volunteers through coordinating events. It aims to help volunteers improve their communities. The organization’s impact can be seen in the more than 592,000 lives that have been transformed.

The organization’s platform is simple, established to contribute to mental wellness through acts of kindness and gratitude. The organization provides people with several opportunities to contribute to the volunteering community. Kynd Leaders, for example, work closely with volunteers to make sure that events run smoothly.

Other duties that Kynd Leaders perform include being present at events to greet community members. In addition to volunteering, Leaders are the point-of-contact person. They help volunteers answer any questions and take pictures and videos of the event.

The events last between two and four hours on a regularly scheduled day (i.e. third Sunday of every month). Leaders are only required to head one event a month comprised of between five and 15 volunteers.
