Student Hustle is an iOS‑only app that lets high‑school students find age‑appropriate work within their own school community. Students create skill‑based profiles and receive real‑time job offers—such as babysitting, tutoring, or athletic training—posted by local adults, who can filter listings by grade, skill set, or individual student. The platform ensures that only qualified students see relevant opportunities, streamlining hiring and payment for both parties.

Problem
High‑school students often lack convenient, trusted channels to find age‑appropriate part‑time work, while local families and community adults struggle to identify reliable teen workers for tasks such as babysitting, tutoring, or athletic training.
Solution
Student Hustle provides a school‑based iOS marketplace that connects students (grades 9‑12) with adults in the same high‑school community. Students create skill‑focused profiles, receive push notifications for jobs that match their abilities and availability, and can accept assignments directly in the app. Adults post job offers using filters to target specific skill sets or individual students, and once a student accepts, the opportunity is removed from the pool. The platform operates on a per‑school basis, ensuring that only members of the same community interact, which enhances trust and safety. The service is free for students, while adults pay a modest annual subscription for unlimited posting, and the app does not take a commission on payments.
Target Audience
Primary users are high‑school students seeking part‑time, age‑appropriate work and local adults or families within the same school community looking to hire teen workers for services such as babysitting, tutoring, and athletic training.
