Find for Good App

Locate Volunteer Opportunities Near You!

This app was created to allow users to easily find ways to volunteer within their local community.  

​It comes with an area to explore local opportunities, places to connect with other local volunteers through profiles, and an easy way to keep local favorite places to volunteer at!

Client
Find for Good

Find for Good wanted to make an app that would give more options than just looking up volunteer opportunities on their website.

Pain Points:

  • Users were unable to locate other people to volunteer with from the website alone - Solved by adding in a search feature to allow locating other users.

  • Website search would not allow users to save favorite organizations to volunteer for - Added feature for saving favorite locations to volunteer at.

  • Saving time was a concern for volunteers - how could they best save information for each location they were volunteering for? The solution was to add a feature to save favorite locations on the app.

The Problem

Identifying the User

The typical user for this app is an active, on-the-go younger person, ages 20-26.

We still wanted to keep the design simple so that nearly anyone could use it.

We focused on using images that promote inclusivity and fun, with people actively volunteering shown in the designs.

Design Components

The app was designed in Figma.

I also used several stock photos from the Pexels.com website for the final design, which I optimized in Adobe Photoshop.

I used several pre-made components in this design:

  • Action Sheet - iPhone

  • Thumbs Up

  • Heart

Figma logo with colorful icon and the word Figma in black text

Final Design

A mobile app screen showing a volunteer matching platform. The screen displays a group of volunteers wearing blue shirts with 'VOLUNTEER' printed on them, standing outdoors at sunset. The app welcomes Jane Doe and offers options to search for volunteer opportunities alone, with a group, or by zip code.
