Volunteers at Hand is an inclusive platform that focuses on creating an interconnected community of volunteers while providing an efficient and effective system that categorizes volunteer/service opportunities based on individual interests. The primary focus of our platform is to foster a compassionate community of individuals who will inspire each other as well as others, and provide hope through their contributions towards helping and healing people. The foundation of Volunteers at Hand will be established through development of an elaborate platform/website that would be equally and openly accessible to all individuals and organizations interested in contributing efforts towards volunteer/service experiences. The platform will implement a filtering system that would categorize service opportunities and events based on personal preferences and interests, thus enabling a more efficient and effective method of discovering various opportunities that an individual would be passionate in contributing their efforts towards. Our platform would also implement a community based aspect that fosters further communication and interactions amongst volunteers as well as organizations involved in volunteer/service experiences.
