A modern full-stack platform that intelligently connects volunteers with organizations through AI-based matching, location-aware discovery, and seamless event management.
- Problem Statement: PS No. 4.3 – VolunteerCompass
- Team Name: Team Meow 🐾
Community service is powerful, but highly unorganized.
- Volunteers struggle to find relevant opportunities
- NGOs and organizers rely on scattered platforms like WhatsApp
- Skilled volunteers remain unmatched while events stay understaffed
VolunteerConnect bridges this gap by:
- 🎯 Matching volunteers with events using intelligent scoring
- 🗺️ Showing nearby opportunities via map-based discovery
- 🏢 Helping organizers manage events and volunteers efficiently
- 🚨 Highlighting urgent hiring needs
- 📊 Tracking volunteer impact and participation
- Next.js (App Router)
- React.js
- TypeScript
- Tailwind CSS
- Next.js API Routes / Server Actions
- NeonDB (Serverless PostgreSQL)
- Drizzle ORM
- JWT / NextAuth (if used)
- Leaflet / Google Maps API
The application follows a modern full-stack serverless architecture:
- Frontend (Next.js) → UI & user interaction
- Backend (API Routes) → business logic & APIs
- Database (NeonDB) → scalable PostgreSQL storage
- ORM (Drizzle) → type-safe database queries
- 🔍 AI-based event recommendations
