Major

 problems

  • Difficult to find opportunities to volunteer

  • Long sign up 

  • No hierarchy of information

  • Confusing format 

  • Disappearing volunteer opportunities 

 

Issues 

 

The volunteer page should show users all of the possible volunteer opportunities before they are required to sign in/sign up so users are able to find the opportunities they are interested in.
