VolunteerCleanup.org's mission is to connect volunteers together to clean up trash from waterways and shorelines. I am currently using NationBuilder as a platform, but it lacks some of the functionality I am looking for. The site should provide 4 basic capabilities. 1) Host/Create a Cleanup (leader) 2) Search for a cleanup by zip code (volunteer) 3) Register/sign up to attend an existing clean up and 4.) notifications/alerts: ability to get emails when a new event is posted within a ___ radius of my zipcode. I am open to working within the existing platform, or starting over and creating a new site. I have been cleaning trash from the bay and canals for 3 years and currently run 2-3 cleanups every weekend in small groups. I am trying to organize multiple groups together, recruit/engage more volunteers so we can make significant impact and ultimately change behavior/govt policy. As an eco-activist, I just want to go out and clean up plastics from the ocean. I have no coding skills and don't want to maintain a website full time. I can provide direction but am looking for help with the front end and backend coding/development. Visit the existing site at volunteercleanup.org to get a sense of what I am trying to accomplish.
