About LocalGig
Connecting students with local opportunities
What we do
LocalGig is a community platform that connects students with local businesses and families looking for part-time help. Whether it's tutoring, yard work, pet care, babysitting, or retail shifts — LocalGig makes it easy to find flexible, local gigs that fit around school schedules.
Built for safety
We designed LocalGig with safety at the center. Parents create accounts on behalf of their children, maintaining visibility and oversight at every step. Employers are vetted regularly, and our Community Trusted badge helps students and families quickly identify employers with a strong track record in the community.
Community first
LocalGig is hyper-local by design. Every job posting, every applicant, and every review is rooted in the Bay Area community. We believe that local work experience — earned close to home — builds real skills, real relationships, and real confidence for the next generation.
