My name is Jasjeev Singh Kohli, and I, along with my teammates, am building a platform called Neighbourly that aims to foster community engagement by connecting volunteers with organizations in need. We are presenting this project in Build With Dehli Hackathon #BWD
Our team, Code Gladiators, consists of three passionate developers: Ayush Verma, Prajjwal Sharma, and myself. We all bring unique skills and experiences to the table, making us a versatile and effective team.
Team Leader: Jasjeev Singh Kohli: A full stack developer proficient in MERN, SpringBoot, and Java, with a knack for problem-solving and a passion for creating impactful solutions.
Ayush Verma: A full stack developer in MERN who loves animation and game development, bringing creativity and innovation to our projects.
Prajjwal Sharma: A full stack developer specializing in backend technologies within the MERN stack, with a keen interest in exploring new frameworks and libraries.
Neighbourly addresses the problem of declining community engagement and volunteerism. Many local organizations struggle to find volunteers, and people interested in volunteering often don't know where to start. Our platform connects these two groups, making it easier for volunteers to find opportunities and for organizations to manage and attract volunteers.
Authentication and Login: Secure login and registration for both volunteers and organizations, ensuring data privacy and user security.
Profile Creation: Users can create and manage detailed profiles, including the ability to upload profile photos using Cloudinary.
Opportunity Listings: Organizations can post detailed volunteer opportunities, making it easy for volunteers to find roles that match their interests and skills.
Search and Filter: Volunteers can search for opportunities based on various criteria, such as location, category, and availability, ensuring they find the best fit.
Event Management: Organizations can manage their events, track volunteer participation, and provide updates, ensuring smooth and efficient operations.
Reviews and Ratings: Volunteers can leave feedback on their experiences, helping others to make informed decisions and encouraging continuous improvement in the community.
Frontend: React.js for a responsive and dynamic user interface.
Backend: Node.js and Express.js for server-side logic and API management.
Database: MongoDB for scalable and efficient data storage.
Authentication: JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for secure user authentication.
Image Uploads: Cloudinary for managing and storing profile photos.
Deployment: Vercel for seamless hosting and scalability.
Neighbourly has the potential to significantly impact society by promoting community engagement and volunteerism. By making it easier for people to connect with volunteer opportunities, we hope to foster a sense of community and mutual support, leading to stronger, more resilient communities.
Neighbourly stands out because it fills a crucial gap in our communities. Many platforms facilitate professional networking or social interactions, but few focus on connecting volunteers with local organizations. Neighbourly not only addresses this need but does so with a robust and user-friendly platform. Supporting Neighbourly is supporting the growth of community bonds and volunteerism.
