Inspiration

Many people are interested in helping out their community, but they often don't have the time or resources to research ways to do so. As a result, there is a lack of community engagement and limited opportunities for people to contribute to their local area.

What it does

Our platform seeks to address this problem by providing an easy-to-use and rewarding system for connecting people to volunteer opportunities in their community. The platform will allow users to report areas that could use cleaning or post specific requests for assistance, and provide a range of volunteer opportunities in partnership with local organizations, non-profits, and government agencies. To incentivize users, the platform will incorporate a gamification system and social network aspect, as well as providing a sense of accomplishment through tracking volunteer hours and contributions. To ensure the safety and trustworthiness of users, the platform will implement a verification process and user ratings and reviews.

How we built it

The website is built on the Winter CMS framework, an open source content management framework built on Laravel & PHP, and utilizes TailwindCSS for the frontend.
