<br>
I'd like to throw out an idea for discussion. A bit of background for <br>
target use cases: I attend a rather large church, Scottsdale Bible <br>
Church, <a href="https://scottsdalebible.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://scottsdalebible.com</a> and was having a discussion with one <br>
of the pastors about volunteer opportunities. He was expressing his <br>
desire to get more people to volunteer for the ministries he oversees at <br>
the church, and I was expressing to him my outsider perspective, that I <br>
would like to contribute time volunteering in ministries at the church <br>
but have absolutely no idea where there is a need.<br>
<br>
Of course, like most of us would, I immediately began thinking of all <br>
kinds of ideas to solve the problem: a basic portal where ministry leads <br>
could login and post position descriptions, timeslots with needed counts <br>
for each position. For volunteers, a hierarchical list view of <br>
opportunities, or using some kind of topic/category tagging, and <br>
alternatively, a calendar view of opportunities. Something where counts <br>
would decrement to zero as people claimed responsibility for posted <br>
opportunities, and a weekly report which might show opportunities which <br>
were not filled the week prior, as maybe a metric for what opportunities <br>
might be mentioned from the pulpit.<br>
<br>
Anyway, those were my 15 minutes of thought from my discussion with one <br>
of my pastors. I have done no research to see if such software exists, <br>
or if other ministries might find it useful if it doesn't, and this is <br>
my first attempt see if anyone has any thoughts or interest in a <br>
providing a solution under our CrossWire banner.<br>
<br>
What do you think?<br>
<br>
