Summary

Volunteer Kansas`, an organization that connects people with volunteer opportunities, aims to make Kansas the top state for volunteerism by adding 70,000 volunteers annually. The group partnered with Twilio to build a social media application that utilizes digital communications to expedite announcements and site communication, ultimately driving more people to get involved in volunteering. With the help of Twilio's API, Volunteer Kansas is already seeing success and plans to launch its app on August 2nd, with exciting features such as two-way communication for volunteer events. The organization is leveraging a range of technologies, including PHP, MySQL, Javascript, AJAX, and scalable cloud servers, to bring this vision to life.
