Golden Volunteer Opportunities

Very good to search opportunity’s

Signed up based on the recommendation from my group Alpha Phi Omega. I live in Ohio and there is only one event. It keeps recommending events in Florida and San Diego even though I have my filter set to 50miles. And the sole event for my organization doesn’t even have sign up button, nor do some others. Yeah…another failed partnership by our clueless leadership. No one asked for this.

I really appreciate the developers for making this app. It’s a great idea, and exactly what I was looking for! Unfortunately, for anyone who doesn’t live in California, this app may not be worth it. Like other people have expressed, I only found a single volunteer opportunity within 50 miles of me, despite the fact that I live next to a major university. Developers, you may want to get into contact with United Way or other big volunteer organizations to alert them to the existence of this app instead of waiting for them to come to you.

No matter what local zip code I put in, I am shown opporunities from places as far away as San Diego — somewhere that I am nowhere near. Not sure what the reason is. Will keep this app in the background until it can be updated properly. Wish that it would show something like “No opportunities near you” if that is the reason.

This app gives me results 4492 miles from me. Yes. That is the distance from Honolulu to Atlanta. It gives me virtual opportunities when virtual opportunities are specifically turned off.

seems good but it crashes VER frequently

Golden needs a lot of work. It does not always show all of our opportunities and the user interface could be a lot simpler and more user friendly. It is hard to navigate and frustrating to use.

love this app compared to volunteer match or the public library whose links go to error 404! ease of signing up youths and then just adding guests is key. I just downloaded and im already helping homeless tonight! cons: I wish the sort by geographic distance actually sorted properly (based on closest to furthest)

Lots of virtual options but nothing physically in my area of Reno Nevada. In fact, the closest that comes up is several states away!

It’s wonderful that your spending time developing an app that is probably not the most lucrative project you could be spending your time on - that’s very noble. I’m in New York City - the largest city in the country- and there was only one organization with a listing. So here’s my feedback: 1) please allow users to see opportunities before signing up - the only explanation for not doing so is that your somehow trying to monetize the collection of emails. I honestly feel duped for giving my email address. 2) Consider renaming your app something with LA or Los Angeles in the title, or at least make it very clear in the description that there is limited opportunities in areas other than _____ Or if you’d just allow people to search opportunities before signing up, the second suggestion wouldn’t be necessary. There’s space for an app like this so if you’re a 501c3 you should write a few grants and you’ll be poppin in no time.
