00:00Coming up next, she's dedicated her life to fighting evil.
00:06And those who know her best say she's got the heart of an angel.
00:10Hey, Sparks. I'm Clary Frey.
00:13And I'm here to tell you about an incredible idea that came to me in an angelic vision.
00:18I like the sound of it already. Tell me more.
00:22Just yesterday, I had to fight off four round demons on the subway when it hit me.
00:26I mean, obviously not everyone can put demon-slaying skills on their resume.
00:31But there's still a lot of ways to get involved and really help make this world a better place.
00:37I know there's a lot of amazing people who really want to give back, they just don't know how.
00:42So our service pairs people who want to help others with people who could use some help.
00:48So how exactly do you connect people?
00:50The way it works is you go online and then you or your organization can sign up to donate your time or your services.
00:58And then the people in need can use the site to be paired up with the people that are providing those services.
01:03It sounds simple, but is it really?
01:05Oh, it's super simple. It's sort of like selling jewelry online.
01:09Except instead of selling crafts, you are donating your time and your services to the people that really need them.
01:15Even if most mundanes aren't fending off demons on a daily basis, there are a lot of people with daily needs like child care or transportation to a doctor's appointment that are just as pressing.
01:27See, social media sites work because they're simple.
01:29I really, really like the idea, but you really need to be more focused.
01:35I mean, the problem is what if people who really need the services can't access the site?
01:40What if it was a super easy to use app that connects kids who are looking to do good deeds?
01:45Because as fun as it is to help people, it's even more fun to make friends while you're doing it.
01:52That's brilliant.
01:54So since we can't all use the buoyance room to perceive when others are looking to team up,
01:59this is a way that you can find friends that are also looking to help others.
02:03Kind of like a mundane dating app, but for community service.
02:07Gross.
02:08But yes.
02:09So if I needed help collecting food for a food drive and someone else needed help walking pets for our local animal shelter,
02:17we can use the app to find each other and join forces and do both things together.
02:21It's actually a lot like what I do every day, teaming up with my fellow shadow hunters to help make the world a better place.
02:27Plus, there's some people that probably really want to volunteer but don't have the time,
02:32so maybe they could do a financial donation and we could use that money to go over and fund the app.
02:39Now that's a viable business plan.
02:41I think you should give it a go.
02:43Me too.
02:44Me three.
02:45Totally.
02:46Sign me up.
02:47See, it's not just shadow hunters who can save the world.
02:49You can too.
02:51Thanks so much, guys.
