Design Brief

A bit about the problem we're trying to solve.

-

Currently, community volunteerism is viewed as, at best, an admirable societal duty, and at worst, a burdensome waste of time that doesn’t have real impact. (We’re looking forward to talking with people to get more thoughts than those just on our team, as of right now, these are just our assumptions.)

-

Community volunteers do not receive nearly as much attention and resources as massive national/international organizations. However, collectively they have a comparable impact on lives.

-

Many young people are required to volunteer in high school, but their obligation and access to volunteer opportunities decreases drastically when they start attending college. Based on our existing knowledge and research, a user-friendly platform that presents local volunteer opportunities in one place, or make an effort to sell them as fun, social, worthwhile activities, does not exist.

Currently, community volunteerism is viewed as, at best, an admirable societal duty, and at worst, a burdensome waste of time that doesn’t have real impact. Even in the best case scenario, many willing volunteers simply don't have the activation energy to put in the time and effort to seek out volunteer opportunities.

CThe process for finding volunteer opportunities is often cumbersome and longwinded. Community volunteers do not receive nearly as much attention and resources as massive national/international organizations. However, collectively they have a comparable impact on lives.

How will your project change the status quo and for whom?

-

We aim for community volunteerism to become a viable social activity that’s easy to coordinate, inexpensive and fun to do with friends.

-

Our platform will also hold people more accountable to actually participate in volunteer events they’re interested in, because we will likely incorporate an RSVP feature and the social energy of a group of friends going together.

-

The intended users are prospective volunteers (including those who have volunteered in the past and newcomers who don’t know where to start), and people who organize volunteer activities, who will post activities on the platform.

We aim for community volunteerism to become a viable social activity that’s easy to coordinate, inexpensive and fun to do with friends. The emphasis of our product will be on ensuring that those who are willing to volunteer can easily access opportunities.

+

Our platform will also hold people more accountable to actually participate in volunteer events they’re interested in, because we will likely incorporate an RSVP feature and focus on making the logistical organisational process prior to atten.

+

The intended users are prospective volunteers, specifically those who have volunteered in the past and newcomers who don’t know where to start.

The platform will bring people together, increasing and changing the energy around community volunteering and decreasing the barrier to entry to community volunteerism.

What is (at least) one naïve design idea (rough sketch)?
