Volunteering for causes has become incredibly easy in the modern age, but the Brightest app is hoping to make it easier by bringing volunteer options directly to those looking to help out. Much like restaurant or music reccomendation services, the Brightest app actively presents users with opportunities to help certain causes in their area. Ultimately, the app aims to increase the number of people who lend their time, skills, and resources to important efforts by making things more convenient and apparent.
Everything on the Brightest app is completely free, including listings and signing up. To keep the app alive, and to continue the company's promise of planting a tree in exchange for every action, Brightest intends to license its technology to other companies doing good.
