For partners
You have an opportunity to make a difference.
Young people need somewhere to serve.
You need people willing to help.
CMPTTR connects the two — and helps turn service into growth.
You don't have to be a youth organization.
You don't have to build a youth program.
You simply have to have something meaningful a young person can contribute to.
They may come looking for hours.They can leave with something much more valuable.
A young person may arrive because they need five service hours.
But those five hours can become:
- A lesson in responsibility.
- A chance to practice leadership.
- An opportunity to build confidence.
- A moment of connection.
- A new understanding of their community.
- A discovery about what they might want to do with their future.
CMPTTR helps make that development visible.
How it works
We help turn service into development.
- 1A young person identifies what they want to develop.
- 2CMPTTR helps them find a meaningful experience.
- 3They serve your organization.
- 4They reflect on what happened and what they learned.
- 5Your organization can verify their participation.
- 6The experience becomes part of their longitudinal CMPTTR Development Record.
- 7Over time, those experiences become evidence of who they are becoming.
- Develop
- Serve
- Experience
- Reflect
- Verify
- Grow
You don't have to become a youth organization.
You already have something valuable:
- A mission.
- A community.
- A place to serve.
- A skill.
- A profession.
- An experience.
- A need.
- A perspective.
CMPTTR helps make that accessible to young people who are ready to contribute.
Your role can be simple:
- Offer an experience.
- Welcome the young person.
- Let them contribute.
- Verify what happened.
That's it.

Yes, the hours count.But the hours aren't the whole story.
CMPTTR helps a young person document:
- What they did
- When they did it
- How much time they contributed
- What they contributed
- What they learned
- What development areas they practiced
- How the experience affected them
Your organization verifies participation. The athlete keeps the record.
So they can demonstrate what they did — and what they learned from doing it.
CMPTTR does not decide whether a school, team, scholarship program, or other institution accepts service hours. You verify the experience; the receiving institution sets its own requirements.

CMPTTR doesn't ask you to judge a young person.
You don't have to decide whether someone is:
"Resilient." "A leader." "Hard-working." "Responsible."
CMPTTR records what actually happened.
You simply verify what you can truthfully confirm.
The young person reflects on what the experience meant to them.
That protects the integrity of both your organization and their record.
Verification
Verification should take seconds, not another meeting.
When a young person completes an experience, they request verification. You receive a simple request and confirm whether the participation occurred.
- No complicated reporting.
- No requirement to evaluate character.
- No access to private reflections.
You verify the experience. CMPTTR handles the developmental record.
You don't have to fit a certain type of organization.
- Nonprofits
- Shelters
- Food programs
- Senior organizations
- Community agencies
- Businesses
- Restaurants
- Manufacturers
- Professional firms
- Healthcare organizations
- Skilled trades
- Civic organizations
- Arts organizations
- Community events
- Government/community programs
- Educational organizations
The question isn't:
"Are you a youth organization?"
The question is:
"Is there something meaningful a young person could do here?"
One experience can open another door.
A young person may come to you simply because they need service hours. But something unexpected can happen. They may discover:
- "I love working with seniors."
- "I care about food insecurity."
- "I didn't know manufacturing was this interesting."
- "I like organizing events."
- "I think I could be good at healthcare."
- "I want to learn more about this."
That's where CMPTTR can eventually connect service to mentorship, career exploration, job shadows, internships, apprenticeships, and professional relationships. The service experience is the beginning — not necessarily the end.
You may never know how much one experience matters.
To you, it might be
- A Saturday morning.
- A few hours helping distribute food.
- An afternoon helping seniors.
- A community cleanup.
- Helping at an event.
- Teaching a younger child something you know.
For a young person, it may be
- Their first real responsibility.
- Their first opportunity to lead.
- Their first connection to a professional.
- Their first experience serving someone outside their own world.
- Their first realization that they can make a difference.
- Their first clue about what they might want to become.
That is why CMPTTR exists.
Today, they serve.Tomorrow, they may lead.
- Service
- Development
- Mentorship
- Career
- Internship
- Opportunity
You're never obligated to offer all of these. Start with one meaningful experience.

Become a founding CMPTTR Partner
We're starting with a small group of organizations in Alamance County that believe young people deserve more than a list of hours. They deserve experiences that help them become who they're capable of becoming.
This isn't an application. It's the start of a conversation.
You don't have to build a youth program.You just have to open a door.
A young person is looking for somewhere to serve.
You may have exactly what they need.
Together, you may give them more than service hours — you may give them an experience that changes what they believe is possible for themselves.
