Current listings of volunteer events in local communities are spread across many websites, making it difficult for users to find events they can attend.
Design a website and application that brings upcoming volunteer events to one place so users can browse and sign up for events with easier access.
In interviews used to identify the needs of the users, the primary user groups were found to be working adults, young adults, and families. Research has confirmed the initially assumed target audience of Helping Hands, as well as expanded explanations of how people find community service events in their community and what can be improved. Many users that look to sign up for events to volunteer at online spend much time browsing different pages and sites trying to find what best fits their schedule. By gathering events in one place it will make it much easier for people to become more involved in their communities and save everyone time that would like to participate.
