Kids who otherwise resisted any kind of assignment have been actually asking to get on Life Hub and complete work. Parents and kids always light up when I explain how it works, and have reported that it's one of the reasons they chose our school. It's been a true asset to our program.

I like the choices it gives youth to decide what they want to learn and, how much money they want to make by learning things about careers or life in general.

We’ve seen many of our mentees adopt ‘Life Hub’ as an important part of their lives that allows them to engage, learn, perform educational jobs, earn income, and then spend or save those earnings.

I have seen first-hand the power and intrinsic motivation cultivated when learners select from the hundreds of jobs, completed using Office within 15-30 minutes. Not only does the platform integrate learning with real-world skills but also rewards learners with cash earnings paid out in their Life Hub Wallet every Friday.

We didn’t expect the impact it has had on overall student engagement, increased attendance, better academic performance, improved self esteem, and higher rates of parental/guaridian participation. In all my years as an educator, I’ve never seen anything like Life Hub!

I Love hearing my students talk about how they are working to make money with Life Hub to buy things they want. They can clearly differentiate wants vs needs and also understand it’s their money that they can spend or save.
