Golden Volunteer Opportunities

Growing up, I did a considerable amount of volunteer work, but over the last 10 years, it has become harder and harder to find easy opportunities to donate a few hours of time to a good cause each month. Well, Problem solved! I really love how this app presents local organized volunteer events - so easy to round up a few friends and head down to the community garden. Hugely helpful and fulfilling, and I’m excited to see what other features they build!

Your team needs to go back and redo the listing process from the ground up. The organization I was going to create listings for, and most other organizations, have created standardized listings for volunteer sites. I was going to put some listings up, but here’s why I won’t be doing so: You split the listing section into three very short sections, with the third being “vibe.” First of all the character limit is incredibly short for the first two sections, I can’t even get 1/3rd of the information I need in there. Also, I’m a millennial and I have to say the “vibe” section is incredibly lame and a weak approach at trying to seem hip to set yourselves apart from the competition, not to mention you can only fit, what, 60 characters? The time section is annoying as well, lots of opportunities are ongoing and at random intervals and don’t have a set timeframe, not allowing me to continue without setting a timeframe is infuriating. Pardon any grammatical errors this was written from my phone, but I seriously hope you take these suggestions into consideration because the app itself is a good concept but the execution certainly needs work. Deleting the app for now but will hopefully be back later on when things have been fixed.

Studying economics, we talk about the collective action problem and how hard it is to have people see a history of your Good Samaritan work and see how credible you really are. This app is a trail of good deeds and makes it a fun and easy way to share and show others your dedication, amazing app! Truly remarkable, Thank you!

I know for a fact that there are other local opportunities in my area because I’m signed up to a website (VolunteerMatch) that gives me opportunities like this is supposed to. This app won’t give me any opportunities and I tried to click the “sounds good” button. It doesn’t let me. This is the same with other buttons, they don’t work. VolunteerMatch is better than this if you want a good place to find something. Very disappointed in this app. It’s given an easy job, and can’t do it, shame. The only thing good I can find about this app is that it’s design is nice and modern. That is all.

The app is very user-friendly and has made it easy for me to navigate through all the volunteering opportunities around LA. Would highly recommend to someone looking for a place to volunteer their time but don’t know where to start.
