Our Mission

It all started in 2019 when 3 university students realized that their peers were struggling to make ends meet with the low-paying jobs available to them.

These students knew firsthand the difficulties of juggling work and school, and they recognized the need for a better way for hard-working students to earn money. That's when they decided to start LocalStudent, a platform that empowers students to work on their own schedule, while building independence and earning fair pay.

Our Purpose

At LocalStudent, we treat our students like small business owners. They have the freedom to choose the services they offer and the hours they work. This independence not only provides them with a sense of autonomy but also allows them to better manage their time and prioritize their studies.

But LocalStudent doesn't just benefit our students - it also benefits our customers. By choosing to support a student in their local community, customers get a service done while also making a positive impact on a student's education and future. Customers can choose from both on-demand and ongoing services.

There's a student for that.
