Project Description:

The Volunteer Scheduling & Event Module is a web-based platform that allows organizations (NGOs, schools, community groups, hospitals, etc.) to efficiently manage volunteer availability, assign them to upcoming events or tasks, and monitor their participation and performance. It acts as a centralized portal where both volunteers and organizers can interact.

This system ensures transparent, streamlined communication, optimal use of volunteer time, and efficient event execution. Ideal for Computer Science students looking to combine backend logic, calendar integrations, and responsive UIs.

Core Features:

 Volunteer Module:

• Sign up and login for volunteers.

• Profile creation (skills, interests, availability calendar).

• View upcoming events/tasks.

• Apply or register for specific tasks or shifts.

• Track volunteer hours and participation history.

 Event & Task Scheduler:

• Admin/organizers can:

  • Create events or recurring tasks.

  • Assign roles (e.g., usher, logistics, coordinator).

  • Set time slots, max volunteers, and special requirements.

• Auto-matching volunteers based on availability and skills.

• Notify volunteers via email or dashboard alerts.

 Admin Dashboard:

• View all events and assigned volunteers.

• Track attendance and hours served.

• Export volunteer data and event reports.

 Notifications:

• Automatic reminders before events.

• Cancellation or reschedule alerts.

• Post-event feedback requests.

Tech Stack:

 Frontend:

• HTML, CSS, Bootstrap

• JavaScript (or React/Angular for modern UI)

 Backend (choose one):

• PHP with MySQL (e.g., Laravel)

• Java with Spring Boot

• Node.js with Express and MongoDB

 Database Design:

• Users Table (volunteers & admins)

• Event Table

• Task Assignments Table

• Attendance & Feedback Table

 Security Features:

• Role-based access (Admin vs Volunteer)

• Secure login system (password hashing + optional 2FA)

• Session or JWT-based authentication
