HELP SHOWS UPWHERE HELP FINDS PURPOSE

BENEFITS & SERVICE HOURS

Need hours to keep or regain benefits?

If a work, volunteer, community-service, training, or participation requirement is putting benefits or another program at risk, tell us what you can do and what could realistically work for you.

Good Works Out looks for possibilities that fit your skills, schedule, location, transportation, and practical situation—including remote options where available.

HELP ME FIND HOURSSee how matching works ↓
In person or remoteFlexible where possibleBuilt around what you can actually do
Good Works Out matching model: what you can do—skills and willingness—plus what life allows—schedule and access—can lead to a possible fit, hours that may matter. The administering agency or program decides whether an activity satisfies its requirements.

START WITH WHAT IS POSSIBLE

Your required hours can still become meaningful help.

You may need hours for SNAP, Medicaid, court-ordered or community service, school, a program requirement, or something else. You do not need to know exactly what kind of opportunity fits before you begin.

Tell us what you can do.
Skills, experience, interests, and abilities all count in finding a fit.

Tell us what gets in the way.
Transportation, schedule, internet access, caregiving responsibilities, mobility, and other practical needs can shape the match.

We look for a real fit.
That may be volunteer service, paid work, training, a project, or another appropriate pathway.

Important: Help Shows Up can help explore opportunities and document participation where appropriate, but the agency, court, school, or program administering your requirement decides whether an activity qualifies. Submitting this form does not guarantee placement, eligibility, benefit approval, or acceptance of any particular hours.
