Short answer
To become a helper, apply from Account in the Help Me iPhone app and submit identity evidence. A member of our team reviews it, and helping needs the review to be current. Helpers can apply to be reviewed by our team. Help Me does not run background checks. Helping is unpaid.
The facts, in one place
- Apply in the app. There is no web form.
- Our team reviews identity evidence. It is not a background check.
- A past review grants nothing. It has to be current.
- Helping is unpaid, and no is always a fine answer.
This is not a side-hustle listing
Help Me is not a paid marketplace. There is no paycheck from the app, no hourly rate, and no customer to invoice. If you already jump a neighbor's car or walk someone to the ramp, this is how the person who needs that finds you without calling across a parking lot.
Apply from Account
The application lives inside the iPhone app. There is no form on this site and no shortcut around the review. It asks what you can help with, when you tend to be around, and for identity evidence.
- Submit identity evidence from the app. A person on our team reviews it.
- Applications can be pending, accepted, declined, or expired.
- A past review grants nothing. It has to be current.
- It is not a criminal background check, and we do not advertise one.
After a yes from our team
You choose when to go online. You can use your location so offers are genuinely nearby. Going offline, closing the app, accepting a request, or going quiet takes you out of the list. When an offer arrives, read it, and accept only if you can show up in public. Chat is private, and you meet where other people can see you.
Decline anything that sounds like an emergency, anything that wants to happen in a dark driveway instead of a store entrance, and anything that asks you to be a mechanic, a locksmith, a counselor, or an officer. Helpers can apply to be reviewed by our team. Help Me does not run background checks. You can report or block any member at any time.
Help Me is not an emergency service. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911 or your local emergency number.
