Long Island Startup Launches App to Revolutionize Student Volunteering

Patchogue, New York May 1, 2025 (Issuewire.com) Long Island Startup Launches App to Revolutionize Student Volunteering

VolunTIME Keeper, a new tech platform built by Long Island local Jennifer Cunningham, is on a mission to change how students give back to their communities and how schools and nonprofits track and celebrate that impact.

What started as one moms frustration with paperwork and signatures for her sons National Honor Society hours has grown into a platform designed to modernize and elevate the student volunteer experience.

Theres nothing else out there like it, said one VTK beta parent. Its not just about logging hours its about giving people, especially our kids, a real way to connect with their community and make an impact.

VolunTIME Keeper is more than a tracking tool its a digital home for community connection. Students can browse real opportunities, set service goals, and see their progress in real time. Schools gain oversight. Nonprofits gain access to a new generation of helpers. And parents gain peace of mind.

We talk a lot about preparing kids for the future but service is how we teach them to lead today, said Jennifer Cunningham, founder of VolunTIME Keeper. This isnt just about logging hours. Its about helping young people find purpose through giving back.

The platform was developed by Lighthouse Technology Solutions, a woman-owned software company based in Patchogue. Guided by the belief that tech should uplift communities, Lighthouse is focused on building smart, inclusive tools that create real-world impact.

Now in beta, VolunTIME Keeper is being offered first to Long Island schools and nonprofits. Features include verified hour tracking, digital goal dashboards, and upcoming integrations with LMS platforms and school-based tools.
