Inspiration

We wanted a way for people to be able to connect with each other to make a positive impact on the community. We sought to leverage existing technologies in money transfer and social media to gamify the volunteering process

What it does

Allows users and organizations to post volunteering events with optional prize incentives. Users registered on the app can view volunteering opportunities in the area and accept tasks requested by others. Progress is tracked through the app and venmo money is awarded upon completion
