Thank you for building a product like this, what a great idea! I'd use it - it solves a clear user need I've had before, wanting to volunteer my time locally but not having a good awareness of what the option are. I'd imagine a challenge expanding, in addition to the usual network chicken-egg problem, would be on-boarding new opportunities in a way that keeps the listing quality high. There is a lot of useful info in the listings I see in Columbus, does it take a lot of hand-holding to get them to that quality or are you finding people submitting listings are good at this already? Really nice design, overall. A couple small pieces of feedback, I found the font on the listings to be too small and the icons in the 'what will volunteers do' don't make sense to me as a new user. Also sign up as a volunteer was a bit heavy, wish I could just one-click via one of my other accounts. Congratulations on the launch, and good luck!

@jim_kleban Hey Jim! Thanks so much for the feedback Yes expanding is a very intentional process like Uber needs riders and drivers, we need both nonprofits and volunteers. What we found is that for most nonprofits, they don't need handholding because they are used to uploading these events on other platforms but with POINT they have management to encourage them to continue to post! Thanks for the feedback - I'll take a look at those sections! Our team has also been working on simplifying sign up but nonprofits need lots of info from users so it's been task to pare down. Again really appreciate the feedback
