Description
Bombus is a web-based platform that connects teenagers with opportunities in their communities. Organizations needing help post their projects to Bombus, and teens can then log on, find opportunities that fit their schedule and skill set, and commit to helping out. Bombus can be implemented to help at-risk teenagers find productive uses for their time, to help build a better sense of community.
Mission
Our mission is to help community organizations tap into the potential of the young people in their neighborhoods and in their cities. We believe that teenagers are capable of having a profound and positive impact on their communities when given the right opportunity. Bombus connects community organizations with the teenagers in their area who want to make a positive impact.
Vision
Bombus makes it easy for teenagers to find projects in their neighborhoods that use their time and skills productively, resulting in decreased crime rates, increased graduation rates, and healthier overall communities.
