Challenge Summary
Welcome to "Living Progress - Social Volunteer Discovery - Desktop Storyboards Design Challenge". In this challenge, we need your help to think about the best possible UI/UX for our new platform where user can find and volunteer to any activity based on their preferences. Similar to a Netflix or Amazon recommendations model, we are aiming to serve up to our users volunteer opportunities that are of interest to them.
We want you to critically think about the problem and propose the best solution for how content should be displayed, what's the best navigation mechanics, and how the user moves through the site. Your designs should have a simple, modern, and responsive UI and UX to allow for the user to quickly move through the application. The goal is to keep the experience intuitive, easy to use, and above all, allow the end user to source talent more easily. As always, reach out in the forum with any questions. Good luck and looking forward to your design ideas!

Background Overview
Insufficient progress is being made on the most pressing social and environmental challenges facing local communities and the world we all share. One of the strongest tools the world has to turn the tide on these challenges is the power of people devoting their time and talents to these challenges as volunteers and, through that experience, inspiring enrolling others in common cause to effect change. According to the US Census, about 60 million Americans volunteer each year, which is a powerful force for good, but only about 20% of the citizenry. Moreover, the opportunity to better connect people to opportunities to make a difference is enormous on a global scale.
If we fail to inspire and connect the maximum possible people to a cause where they can make a meaningful difference, we will never solve the great challenges of our time. Martin Luther King, Jr. said, "Everyone can be great, because everyone can serve." Volunteer service should be viewed as a powerful lever for change across all the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It is through volunteering that every individual can make a meaningful contribution to this bold, global agenda. It is through these hands on experiences that individuals build empathy, new perspective, and the values of community necessary to build a sustainable, just global society.
Our vision is to transform how people discover volunteer opportunities online "from search to social". By applying machine learning, predictive analytics, and persuasive UX design to our current search--based All For Good platform, the largest catalog of volunteer opportunities on the internet, we will revolutionize how people are invited into service.
This will result in more people connecting to causes they can help with their time, talent, money, and social influence. It is ultimately through the power of people that social change happens.
Challenge Goals:
Create a powerful consumer facing social discovery platform that includes features like:
- The cutting edge in interface layer UX design
- Machine learning, persuasive technology, and behavioral science to push the right volunteer opportunities to the right people at the right time.
- Insights from the social graph so that more people can bring others into volunteer service through peer influence.
This project will overhaul our existing volunteer discovery platform called "All For Good" (http://www.allforgood.org/), from a search based platform to a social discovery platform. Following the great example of a site like Kickstarter, we’d like to create a platform that enables our users to discover volunteer opportunities based on their likes, location, preferences, and social network. Being able to browse for opportunities similar to how Kickstarter allows users to Discover is an idea we’d like to work with for our target users. Users would be able to select their interest from a number of issues to volunteer for including:
- adult education
- animals
- arts and culture
- children and youth education
- civic and community
- disaster and emergency services
- environment
- faith-based service
- family services
- health and wellness
- hunger and homelessness
- immigrant and refugee services
- international service
- internships and employment
- justice and legal services
- schools
- senior services
- sports and recreation
- technology
- veterans and military families
Focus Area:
Civic Engagement, Community Development and Volunteerism
Key Features:
Must Have Features
- Volunteer users - SSO for volunteer users via Facebook that leverages data permissions and social graph
- Volunteer users - Expanded "actions" users can take (like/favorite, send to friend)
- Volunteer users - Volunteer profile with photos (pulled from FB), skills, their followed organizations, and a "badges"/"credits" section for future build out
- Volunteer users - Integrate with our background screening partner so volunteers can order a screen, display in their profile, and share with an organization they want to volunteer with.
- Volunteer users - ability to create and organize into groups (schools, churches, etc.)
Nice To Have Features
- Volunteer users - Ability to invite their friends
- Volunteer users - Pandora-style "like"/"dislike" content/opportunity types to improve recommendation engine.
- Volunteer users - More robust skills and availability profile (e.g. see only weekend projects)
User Case Scenarios:
Volunteers
- Searching for opportunities by keyword, organization type, geography
- Browse recommended opportunities and organizations based on their preferences/social data
- Sign up for or "express interest" in an opportunity
- Favorite an opportunity
- Follow an organization so that they are alerted to new or related opportunities
- Invite a friend/s to the platform
- See which of their friends are also users and see their activity
- Invite a friend to an opportunity
- Earn and display "badges" for certain achievements or activities
- Sign up for a background check (an integration with our background check partner, Verified Volunteers)
- Give a donation to an organization
- See an activity feed: their friends, their favorite organizations, their sign up history, their background check and/or other "badges"
Design Consideration
- Two-sided marketplace, like AirBnB, in which the primary audience is consumers, yet, there is a secondary login path for "sellers", which in our case are nonprofit organizations seeking to recruit volunteers and manage their opportunities.
- A platform that leverages social login (most likely Facebook) to find friends or causes on the platform and recommend new opportunities, like Spotify.
- A richer, more engaging UI/UX that includes more visual elements like photos and videos.
- A user experience and flow similar to Kickstarter
- We have an existing logo which we will be providing..However...we are open to a redesign of that logo. It is NOT required, but would be open to a fresh take on the logo.
