Inspiration
We heard many stories of students who struggle with getting volunteer hours and missing out on them. Finding volunteer hosts can be quite a hassle and time consuming because it requires a lot of research. This inspired us to create VolunteerNow, a web platform that helps people to find volunteer events and sign up.
What it does
As it's hard to keep track of multiple events occurring constantly and missing out on them, Volunteer Now will put a stop to it. Events will be easier to keep in touch as well as seeing more options provided which will push for more volunteer opportunities.
