about poppermint

Poppermint is a Canadian-based platform that helps students turn their skills, talents, and time into flexible, paid opportunities.
Students offer local services — from photography and tutoring to tech support and baking — and gain real-world experience outside traditional part-time jobs.

 

our approach

We believe work should fit around a student’s academic life, not the other way around.
Through Poppermint, students set their own schedules, prices, and project types, helping them build responsibility, financial independence, and practical skills that support their future careers.

 

student safety and standards

Poppermint is designed with students' safety and growth in mind:

• As of today, only students aged 18 and over can offer services (we aim to offer our platform to students aged 14 and over in the future).

• All transactions and communications are processed through the platform.

• Students are encouraged to follow best practices for safety when meeting customers.

• Clear Terms of Use and Privacy Policies guide both students and customers.

 

supporting student development

Beyond earning income, Poppermint gives students:

• Entrepreneurial experience

• Customer service and communication skills

• Project management and time management practice

• An opportunity to build a professional track record with customer reviews

 

our commitment to schools

We are committed to being a positive, complementary resource for students’ academic and career journeys.
