UpLift

This is a web application that enables volunteers and organizations/opportunities to be matched based on skills and/or interests. We have provided a platform that currently allows volunteers to search for volunteering opportunities based on skills/interests, locations, and organizations.

We are facilitating the search for volunteering opportunities via better UX and search criteria with an emphasis on skills desired.

This app is fully decoupled and this repository contains our client-side view of the product. Using AngularJS allowed this to be a web and mobile responsive single page application.
