Alamance & Guilford County, NC
Rae of Hope Volunteers connects students across Alamance and Guilford Counties with real, verified volunteer opportunities — and makes sure every hour of service is recognized.
Our programs
Organized cleanups, food drives, and community events designed for middle and high school students to make a tangible impact.
Park and greenway cleanups, food drives, and seasonal drives like coats, school supplies, and holiday donations.
Car washes and donation events where students perform a service and, instead of a cash fee, the “payment” is a goods donation (canned food, clothing, household goods) that goes directly to a partner organization.
Rae of Hope never holds the donated cash or goods as custodian — it’s handed to the partner org the same day.
A trusted network that validates student hours on the spot, giving schools and parents confidence in every volunteer submission.
The supervising adult logs each student’s name and hours the same day — that same-day sign-off is what makes an hour verified.
Founder story
Founded by Raelyn Lee, Rae of Hope Volunteers was born from a simple realization: students should never have to hunt for volunteer opportunities. As a student in Alamance and Guilford County, she struggled to find places that would accept her for school-required hours. Rae of Hope Volunteers bridges that gap, providing a trusted network of pre-approved, verified opportunities for middle and high schoolers to give back while earning their community service credits.
A note on donations
Our donation drives are goods-based. At a service-for-donation event, the "payment" is canned food, clothing, or household goods, and it goes to the partner organization the same day. Where cash appears informally, it is handed to the partner org the same day, off-platform. There is no donation or payment processing on this site.
