How it works

Three simple steps. Real advocacy that creates real change for adults on the autism spectrum.

Sign up and book a call

Drop your name, email, and (optional) cell. You'll be sent straight to our calendar to book a quick intro call with someone on the Luv Michael team.

2

Advocate, raise awareness, build resources

Contact local representatives. Help build the national resource database for autism families. Run a fundraiser to support adults on the spectrum living independently. Every action logs hours.

At 40 verified hours, you receive a signed PDF service letter, a graduation cord, and a personalized letter of recommendation from Luv Michael.

Why students keep coming back

Real reviews from real student volunteers. The cohort renews twice a year.

"I was very suspicious about joining at first — I usually don't trust programs on social media. But this was actually the best decision I ever made. What makes Luv Michael special is that it's not just about volunteering — it's about education, advocacy, and creating real impact."

"You might sign up with the expectations of just getting more meaningless volunteer hours at another volunteer place. You might actually leave with your expectations shattered and replaced by a newfound compassion for people with autism."

Jasmina MashkulliStudent volunteer · Oct 2025

"It gives a great learning experience, the experience of learning how to fundraise money and advocate for a cause. The hard work goes to a good cause, and you even get some community service hours in return."

Questions students actually ask

Short answers. If we missed one, just reply to your welcome email.

Will my school accept these hours?

Yes. We've been accepted by NHS, Key Club, IB CAS, and 1,200+ public and private high schools. You'll receive a signed PDF service letter on Luv Michael letterhead. If your school requires a specific form, send it over and we'll fill it out.

What do I actually do?

Three core activities: advocate to local representatives in support of housing and services for adults on the autism spectrum, build the national resource database that families use to find programs near them, and fundraise to support independent living. We send the assignments and track your hours.

What do I get when I'm done?

A signed PDF service letter for your school records, a Luv Michael graduation cord you can wear at commencement, and a personalized letter of recommendation that you can use for college applications, scholarships, or jobs.

What happens on the intro call?

It's a quick 15-minute call (Zoom or phone) with someone on the Luv Michael team. They'll walk you through the program, answer your questions, and get you set up with your first assignment. That's it.

I'm a parent, teacher, or club advisor. Can I sign up a group?

Yes. Sign yourself up and mention it on the intro call. We'll set you up as a cohort lead with a roster dashboard for your group.

What's the minimum age?

14. Anyone under 18 should have a parent or guardian's permission to participate.
