We are excited to launch our new user-friendly app to serve our students and community organizations. MobileServe is the name of our 3rd party volunteer app provider. If a student has an account prior to July 2023 be sure to check the student’s email account for a link to claim their account from MobileServe. If a student is new to the SJI Service Scholarship program click here to register.
Helpful Tips

- Sign up with a friend a make it fun!
- Have the adult supervisor (not a family member) sign off on the app on the day you’ve volunteered.
Generating your own volunteer opportunity
Yes! Students can generate their own volunteer opportunities. If you are interested in creating your own opportunity, connect with organizations on the MobileServe app. If you would like to create a volunteer opportunity with an organization that is not on our current list of organizations, please email info@sjiservicescholarship.org in advance.
