Based on a personal project from the one week Parsons Summer Challenge
Background
Volunteering is mutually beneficial. Many people want to be a volunteer in order to enhance their international visions and experience, and also to make a contribution to the world. However, many volunteers only do the volunteer work for a short time period. Because of that projects will stop when volunteers move on, and leaving behind those who are in need.
Solutions
Relay Volunteers the project of hand, helps volunteers by handing over the unfinished projects to the next person. The exiting volunteer can share the story online, so anyone who is interested in the work can keep working on it without joining a volunteer organization or start a new project on their own.
