About Us
I Want To Mow Your Lawn® is a volunteer-powered nonprofit connecting people who want to help with neighbors who need support — often older adults, veterans, or individuals facing temporary hardship.
What started as a simple act of kindness has grown into a nationwide effort powered by volunteers, technology, and community trust.
Now we’re ready for the next phase.
What We’re Looking For
We’re seeking a hands-on volunteer who enjoys building things — especially digital tools that make life easier for others.
You don’t need to be a senior engineer or a startup veteran. What matters most is:
- You enjoy solving problems
- You like building and improving systems
- You can contribute a few hours consistently
- You care about impact over polish
How You’d Help
You may help with:
- Designing or refining user flows
- Improving volunteer or homeowner experiences
- Thinking through how group service events should work
- Creating simple wireframes or logic flows
- Helping connect systems like forms, CRM, or automation tools
This is a collaborative role — your ideas will shape how the platform grows.
Why This Matters
Every improvement helps:
- Volunteers find opportunities faster
- Communities get help sooner
- Nonprofits operate more efficiently
- Good intentions turn into real-world action
We believe technology should make kindness easier — not harder.
Important Notes
- This is a volunteer / pro bono role
- No rigid schedule or heavy meetings
- Great for someone between roles, exploring purpose-driven work, or looking to contribute skills meaningfully
- Long-term opportunities may grow from this as the platform evolves
