Problem Statement

Many students don’t have the time, resources and money participate in school sports, music programs and other extracurricular clubs which hinders them from developing the necessary interpersonal skills that can help them foster in their academics and professions. Students can obtain similar skills by volunteering -all for free! But this temporary solution brings up another problem. One of the main reasons that high school students don’t volunteer more is because they lack the time and effort to dedicate to finding opportunities nearby and ones that they are interested in. There is no platform that compiles volunteer opportunities specifically for students. That's where VolunTool comes in!

Solution

Our app seamlessly matches students, particularly high school students, with volunteer opportunities based on their preferred location and skills that they want to develop. VolunTool can help students grow skills that they might not be able to learn in school by connecting them to volunteer opportunities that can peak students’ interests. With that being said, we hope to develop something that is easy and quick to navigate and displays all the necessary information in a meaningful way.

Home Page

Our homepage is designed in a way that users can start using the app without creating an account.We designed our main page this way so that users feel unrestricted and inclined to explore around

Explore Page

Our Explore page displays a list of results based on the search query and hosts the results on the map. We took this idea from the popularity of the Yelp format, which displays restaurants and their relative locations on a map.

Company Page

This About screen is dedicated to providing our user with information about the organization. It includes tags that represent the skills that the student can develop in this organization as well as the location of the non-profit.

Profile Page

The main goal of the Profile page is to let the user view their details and delete their resume if they desire. This section of the app includes how long that user has been a member of our app, the number of organizations they have worked with and the total hours they have logged through our platform.
