Yashoma Boodhan, Kennan Salisbury, Nick Quandt for helping us overcome some of the challenges with our project and pointing us in the right direction and allowing us to take inspiration from their own project 3: Meet Out (GitHub Here)
Organizing volunteering events can be a handful, you need to reach out and access a lot of different technologies to make it work and get the word out.
We are creating a web application that would allow volunteer organizations to create pages and post events to their page, along with the use of a dashboard to keep track of those events and volunteers. Volunteers would also be able to create accounts and then be free to sign up and join various organizations to follow when they create events, or search for events that they want to volunteer for just in general.
- Charity Organizations that host events that require volunteers
- People who want to volunteer and make a difference in their community.
