GatherUP

01 / why it began

GatherUP makes volunteer opportunities easier to discover, understand, and join while giving organizations a clearer way to reach people who want to help.

02 / the problem

Volunteer opportunities are scattered across social channels, making discovery and coordination difficult.

03 / what I made

A focused platform with structured event pages, application flows, saved opportunities, and clear spaces for volunteers and organizations.

• Volunteer opportunity discovery
• Organization profiles
• Event listings
• Applications
• Saved events
• Volunteer and organization workspaces

04 / my part

Research volunteer workflows — Define the first useful release — Design discovery and application flows — Build the platform — Learn directly from communities

05 / what I learned

Validate with organizations — Complete the application flow — Prepare a pilot launch

06 / where it is now
