IVolunteerNow
Transforms Volunteer Engagement Across Georgia
Scope
Mobile Development
Overview
SJ Innovation, a leading web development agency, has been a frontrunner for the past twenty years, delivering cutting-edge software solutions to clients across various industries. One of their recent projects involved partnering with IVolunteer International to develop a mobile app that will redefine how people volunteer in Georgia.
Understanding the impact of technology on driving positive social change, SJ Innovation collaborated closely with ‘IVolunteer International’ to create a user-friendly and smooth mobile application, ‘IVolunteerNow’. The app aimed to address the challenges individuals and organizations face in finding and connecting with meaningful volunteer opportunities locally in Georgia. This helps in fostering a culture of giving back and community engagement
Goals
A mobile app for streamlined, location-based volunteer matching and management.
The Challenge
Despite a strong desire to give back to the community, many potential volunteers in Georgia faced significant barriers. The most crucial one was the difficulty in finding suitable local volunteer opportunities for community service. Even if there were a few promising options, the sign-up process was time-consuming and complicated which caused many citizens to drop the idea of being a part of the community projects.
Then, there was also no real-time information available about available projects and it became tedious for people to track personal volunteer impact and history. These challenges often led to decreased volunteer participation and missed opportunities for community engagement.
