Professional Feedback
I like the idea of helping your neighbors. The app concept's map is helpful to identify opportunities to help that are nearby.
Here is what I'd recommend you consider for your second prototype: How is the safety of both the poster and volunteer incorporated into the app's design? How might a school-age volunteer obtain proof to support their school's community service graduation requirements? Is there is minimum age limit for users? How do you vet posting to make sure they are real?
Wishing you a ton of luck as you build the 2.0!
