Hire Good is a non-profit corporation, public charity that provides connections in community service to high school students in Miami-Dade County. The web-based service is student conceived, managed and facilitated. Hire Good offers a comprehensive database of community organizations and their volunteer requirements, giving students all the information necessary to choose those that best fit their interests and talents.  Hire Good is by students and for students, but also for parents and schools as well.  The Hire Good “Brain Trust” is currently comprised of five students: four seniors from SAS Wolfson and one sophomore from MAST Academy.

Basically, Hire Good, www.hiregood.org, is envisioned as the “go to” site for high school volunteers.  In addition to this database resource, the site also includes a Calendar feature.  This offers organizations a place to promote special events, volunteer orientations and “one-off,” episodic volunteer opportunities.

An additional component of the Web site will be the ability to log student hours online and eventually to have those hours available on the kids’ student profiles on www.dadeschools.net. Hire Good has contracted with a respected volunteer data management company to initiate this feature. Hire Good is already up on the Social Services website and should be linked through both the Parent and Student portals on www.dadeschools.net very soon.
