Description: CIRCLE proposed to develop entirely new software for use by a potential audience of up to 250,000 college students in the Greater Boston area to organize and recruit volunteers and to improve the impact of service initiatives across the region. The software powers a new social network site, comparable to Facebook or MySpace, except that the main focus is nonprofit organizations and social issues (not individual students), and the network is made transparent as an interactive “map” of Greater Boston’s civil society. This map can be used by students to identify needs, assets, and strategies. The new social network will connect to existing sites like Facebook so that students can elect to receive all relevant information though the sites that they already use most heavily.
