For Parents and Guardians
Volanee helps students aged 13 to 17 find safe volunteering, clinical shadowing and internships near home, and keeps a verified record of the hours they give. Students join through their school. A parent or legal guardian ("Guardian") can follow along: you see where your student signs up and every hour that is confirmed. You do not approve, limit or change anything.
What you can see
- Your student's sign-ups and when they are, from one link we email you or from the Family screen if you have an account.
- Every hour an Organization confirms, and who confirmed it.
- Updates Organizations send to the students they accepted.
- Posts from the student’s school, and, with a Family account, the student’s messages with their teachers and counselors. Their chats with friends stay theirs.
How students are kept safe
- Students join through their school, which is responsible for any family consent its own policies require.
- The app enforces the same rules for every student under 18: at most 4 hours per shift, nothing ending after 8 PM on a school night, and each opportunity's age minimum.
- Organizations are reviewed, the adult on each Organization's account is ID checked, and each Organization confirms it screens the staff who supervise minors under its own policy. That reduces risk; it does not remove it.
- Volanee does not employ, supervise or transport the student, and does not guarantee the conduct of any Organization.
- Nobody on Volanee may ask the student for money. If anything feels wrong, you or the student can report it with Get help, which routes safety concerns to a person immediately, or contact the student's school.
What the student agrees to
To be honest about age and skills, to keep sign-ups inside the app, to tell their school, their family and Volanee if anything feels wrong, and to follow the Community & Safety Guidelines.
Your choices
You can stop following at any time from the Family screen, or stop our weekly email from its link. You can ask Volanee to show you, correct or delete your student's information at privacy@volanee.app, as described in the Privacy Policy; records required by law or under legal hold are kept as that policy describes.
