In 2019, Jason, a High School student, identified a problem that many of his peers faced. Students wanted to make money, but it was (and still is) challenging to get a part-time job that wouldn't collude with their busy school schedule(s). Students would solve the problem by shoveling driveways; however, many issues came with this also: trouble finding work, getting underpaid, and safety concerns.

​

Jason would then be inspired to Make Shovel Me, A third-party service that helps connect local students with Leaside Homeowners. Here, all client interactions and payments would be completely autonomous and online. There would be a predetermined and dynamic pricing scheme on the website that would remain consistent for all orders, with no exceptions. Finally, Shovel Me would not take any cut from shovelers; they keep 100% of whatever they earn. 

​

This will be the third Winter season that Shovel Me is operating. To commemorate it, we have rebuilt the website from scratch. Shovel Me is now more user-friendly and smarter. Last winter we had well over 20 active shovelers and helped them earn money. This year we hope to do even better!
