A Non-profit, Breaking Barriers, Which Fosters Connection Between Students and Senior Citizens, Lacked Volunteers Who Signed Up to Visit Senior Homes.
Solution
We Built a Website Introducing the Club, its Mission, and Included a Contact Us Page that Facilitate Volunteer Sign-ups.
"Who We Are" Located in the "Home" tab:
"Our Mission Statement" also in the "Home" tab:
"Contact Us" Form in the "Contact Us" tab:
"Tidbits About Us" Carousel:
My Role
I Programmed the Front-end of the Home Page of the Website:
Impact
The Website has Linked University Students and Senior Citizens in the City of Davis for over Four Years.
Reflection
I Felt Accomplished Knowing that My Product is Being Used for Social Good, and I Hope to Assist More Nonprofits in the Future.
Having volunteered over 300 hours for a space museum, the Chabot Museum, and understanding the need for talking to senior citizens, I decided to join #include to build for Breaking Barriers. Now, a lot of my work revolves around working for social good and inspiring others to do the same for diverse audiences including senior citizens. I am grateful to not only learn technical skills, but also work with interdisciplinary teams and build my skills in design and technology as well as teamwork.
