AN INTELLIGENT AND DATA-DRIVEN MOBILE VOLUNTEER EVENT MANAGEMENT PLATFORM USING MACHINE LEARNING AND DATA ANALYTICS

Abstract

In Lewis and Clark High School’s Key Club, meetings are always held in a crowded classroom. The system of event sign-up is inefficient and hinders members from joining events. This has led to students becoming discouraged from joining Key Club and often resulted in a lack of volunteers for important events. The club needed a more efficient way of connecting volunteers with volunteering opportunities. To solve this problem, we developed a VolunteerMatch Mobile application using Dart and Flutter framework for Key Club to use. The next steps will be to add a volunteer event recommendation and matching feature, utilizing the results from the research on machine learning models and algorithms in this paper.
