Business model

At universities with on-campus service, DormAid trains and employs local students (called presidents) to serve as the DormAid representative there.

Presidents have many roles which include marketing, branding and development. Presidents are given substantial responsibility and autonomy in making business decisions for DormAid on their campus; they essentially run their own businesses while still in school.
