ClearBay

ClearBay is a community hub that makes it easy to post volunteer calls and share environmental action events in one place. Users can publish a one-line invite with a photo and location, browse nearby opportunities, and save details to their calendar. Key audiences are coastal residents, visitors, student groups, event organizers, and partner organizations.

PROBLEMS:

Retention is weak; after joining once, the next steps and progress are unclear, so people drop off.
When traveling, sorting rules and drop-off points vary by city and item, making disposal unclear and stalls action.

GOALS:

ClearBay centralizes volunteer calls and environmental events in one place, providing timely and reliable details. Anyone can post a one-line invite with a photo and location in seconds, find nearby opportunities, and save them to a calendar. Event cards clearly indicate when, where, and what to bring. Travelers see location-aware sorting guidance and nearby drop-off points, so disposal is easy. Simple next steps and light progress cues help people return and keep participating.
