Inspiration

We started off with the idea of a study buddy finder, but we realized we could expand the idea further to be more general. Sometimes immigrants need a translator for a single day, and other volunteer services don't easily cater to these short term needs.

What it does

People can post requests for volunteers. These requests include time commitment, frequency, location, skills/equipment needed, and a general description. Volunteers can accept these requests from a general page. Volunteer hours are tracked.

How we built it

We used javascript, node.js, html5 and css. Google Maps was used for location of requests.

Challenges we ran into

Three of our members had little to no experience in web development. It was challenging to figure out how to structure the site and how to deploy it.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The design of the homepage is very clean.

What we learned

Making a website is harder than it seems.

What's next for Thanks 4 Help

A full fledged website with a messaging system.
