Overview

Facilitate connection between volunteers and individuals

Designing an intuitive platform that connects skilled professionals—such as electricians, painters and private tutors—with individuals and families in need of their services. This platform facilitates voluntary assistance across various categories, fostering community support and making essential services accessible to those who need them most.

Definition and Challenge

Service based Search Engine

The platform features intuitive search and filtering options, allowing users to easily connect with volunteer professionals based on their specific needs, expertise, and availability. Additionally, a user-friendly admin dashboard enables efficient management of user accounts, volunteer profiles, and service listings, ensuring a seamless and organized experience for all participants.

Challenges in Connecting Volunteers with Communities

Providing volunteer services to underserved communities required a structured system to match those in need with available professionals. Existing processes were inefficient, making it difficult for associations to manage requests, coordinate volunteers, and ensure smooth service delivery.

Limited Accessibility

People in need lacked a centralized platform to request volunteer services.

Volunteer Coordination Issues

Inefficient scheduling and poor matching led to underutilized volunteers.

Lack of an Organized System

Associations struggled with tracking requests and managing service distribution.

Research & Competitive Analysis

I conducted user interviews and industry research to understand the needs of consumers, volunteers, and admins. Insights from associations and volunteers highlighted workflow challenges, while a competitive analysis of service platforms revealed inefficiencies in matchmaking, scheduling, and communication.
