Goal: Making the search for volunteer opportunities easier and more exciting with one tool
The interest in volunteering activities has increased considerably over the last years, however, even though opportunities to become a volunteer exist, finding one that fits one’s needs and interests can be challenging.
Process
1.Competitive analysis
Prior to starting work on the project, a competitive analysis was conducted to gain a thorough understanding of the features, functions and feelings evoked by other competitor's design solutions.
2. User interviews
People who took part at least once in volunteering activities were interviewed to find out more about their typical process of becoming a volunteer, the issues they faced and their overall intentions to use a dedicated tool for this purpose.
3. User flow
A flow diagram has been created to indicate each step a user has to take to either post an opportunity on Aidroot or apply to one.
Design
An application turning the process of finding, applying and taking part in volunteering activities into a simple and engaging experience.
