Local help from students near you.

Neighbors post small jobs. Verified college students just around the corner pick them up โ€” and payment is held safely until it's done.

How it works

Three simple steps, whichever side you're on.

Getting help

  1. 1
    Post

    Say what you need, where (roughly), and what it pays.

  2. 2
    Pick a student

    Chat with students who reach out and choose the one you like.

  3. 3
    Pay safely

    Your payment is held by Around Me until you confirm the job's done.

Earning

  1. 1
    Sign up with .edu

    Your college email verifies you're a real student.

  2. 2
    Find jobs nearby

    Browse the feed or the map for tasks around campus.

  3. 3
    Get paid

    Money lands in your bank in one weekly payout.
