Do Something NOW! Just-In-Time Volunteering with Your Mobile


Posted by CorinneRamey on Apr 08, 2008


Ben Rigby imagines people  sitting in airports during a layover, using their mobile phones to do something for a cause.  Using an application called Volunteer Now!, potential volunteers could instantly be connected with short-term "mini" volunteer opportunities near their present location. "We could utilize people's spare time to do good in the world," he said.  "There's no method right now for that kind of thing, but there should be."
 
 The application doesn't exist yet -- it's still in the planning stages -- but Rigby told MobileActive that the Google Android Developer Challenge deadline has been a motivating factor for the project and that he plans to submit a draft of the application for the competition's April 14th deadline. Volunteer Now!
