What they built

Flock Local matches volunteers with local activities.

Volunteering often requires an ongoing commitment. But many people just don’t have the time to commit to a long-term project. And sometimes there is an urgent need for volunteers and no easy way to get organized. Some activities take forever to complete. Flock Local was created to fill these gaps. The site matches short-term volunteers with one-off activities. From cleaning a garage to painting a shelter, Flock Local makes it easy for you to get involved and help make a quick difference in your community.

With some outstanding project management skills, this huge team of 16 people not only built a functioning and beautifully designed site, but organised a test-run ‘flock’ on Sunday morning. All of which earned them an honourable mention from the judges.

And here’s the site they built:
