The idea for x2VOL came about during Christmas of 2006. Our founder, Michele Pitman, was inspired by her father's request. His request was simple - instead of presents for Christmas, he wanted Michele and her siblings to help one family. She realized that she didn't know a single family that needed help. This realization was unacceptable. As a result, Michele and her family decided to volunteer 100 hours throughout the year. They searched for opportunities in their community, tracked their time for one year, and reported the results back to her father the following Christmas.
This process of volunteering and tracking their service hours revealed a need.
There was no way to set a goal, find opportunities, log hours, verify them, and report results. This is how the idea for x2VOL was born. Michele called upon her colleagues to become co-founders to develop a solution and the x2VOL pilot site was launched in 2009. Today x2VOL has won several awards in education and is used by public and private schools and districts across the US.
x2VOL is comprised of caring employees who are experts who take a consultative approach to serving our customers. They share best practices. They work with every customer to understand their service program so that x2VOL works for their school. They listen to feedback and work with the technology team so that our customers are heard.
Our goal is to serve others. To serve our schools and their students. We want to make it easier for students to positively impact the world. With our unlimited reflections field, students can capture the details and impact of their experiences. We know students are transformed by volunteering and x2VOL assists in capturing their stories.
Today, over 75 million hours have been approved by school administrators. We are proud to connect schools, students, and local opportunities.
