Design Considerations
The Problem: Young adults struggle to find and sign up for community service events in their local area. The community app has identified a barrier to finding community service events, which is largely due to the lack of intuitive ways for young adults to discover these events.
The Goal: To create a progressive web application and mobile application in order to makes it easier to find and sign up for community service events nearby.
The Product: Community is an app and website designed to help young adults get involved in community service through discovery on an easy-to-use interface.
The Solution
Relevance: Users found Community 5x more helpful in locating local community service events than a standard internet search.
Retention: Users noted that the PWA to be a great way to introduce them to the service and 60% of them said they would download the app after using the website.
