01About Education Hop
A student-run guide
to getting involved.
Finding a place to volunteer can take time. Education Hop brings together service opportunities so high school students can explore their interests and connect directly with organizations.
Run by students, we encourage community service as a way to practice teamwork, take responsibility, and learn from people beyond the classroom.

Team Coordinator
Ayush Kandel
Meet Ayush
My name is Ayush Kandel, and I attend Allen High School. I plan to major in Finance and pursue a career that incorporates leadership, collaboration, and service. In the Leo Club, a membership based service organization, I helped organize community events and fund-raising events. What I learned from it is how beneficial volunteering is, to helping others and in helping gain essential skills. Education Hop enabled me to continue serving while inspiring other students to serve and lead by example.
