about
Project Overview
A social app designed to make volunteering simple, social, and rewarding. MOYO lets young adults discover opportunities nearby, join with one tap, and feel impact through purpose and connection
Problem Statement
Young adults want to contribute through volunteering — but current platforms make the experience overwhelming. Opportunities feel hard to discover and the process lacks social connection.
While 84% of young adults have volunteered, few manage to do it consistently.
