helpers
Helpers show up
Anyone can join Help Me. Not everyone can help. Becoming a Helper means putting your name to it and waiting on a real decision.
Apply from Account
The application asks about categories you can actually help with, availability, motivation, experience, and identity evidence. Submit it from inside the app. There is no shortcut from this website.
A person reviews it
A staff member makes the call. Not an algorithm, and not a self-serve badge. Pending, approved, rejected, expired, and resubmission are real states. Historical labels never grant access.
Go online when you can
Once approved, you choose when to go online. You can use your location for genuinely nearby offers. Going offline, leaving the app, accepting a request, or going quiet removes you from active matching. You are a neighbor, not an on-duty employee.
Questions people actually ask
Is this a paid job?
No. Help Me is not a gig marketplace. Helpers are approved community members. Do not expect a paycheck from the app.
Does approval last forever?
No. Approval has to be current. An old label grants nothing.

Safety, said plainly
Approximate location, approved helpers only, private chat, public meeting places, and report/block tools. Help Me is not 911.

How Help Me works
Ask in a sentence. Approved helpers nearby see it. One accepts. You chat privately and meet in public. Four steps — that is the entire ask.
who it's for
For people who would have stopped anyway
If you live in Fargo, Moorhead, or West Fargo and want to help neighbors with everyday tasks, apply to become an approved Helper.
who it's for
For neighbors, not for an audience
A quieter way than Facebook groups or Nextdoor to ask for a jump start, a walk, or a hand — from approved people nearby.
Help Me is a community app for adults in Fargo–Moorhead. It is not a K–12 student program, not a youth chat, and not campus police.
