Open SGF
Community Projects
Open SGF is actively working to support improvements and ongoing maintenance related to each of the following Community Projects.
Interested in contributing to one of these projects? We invite aspiring or experienced Designers and Developers to attend our free Open SGF Hack Night and find out how to get started.
Workforce Development (2019)
The Portal to Work application allows job seekers (in Springfield and surrounding areas) to more easily find nearby jobs based on travel time from their home address.
Borrow My Angel (2018)
Hack 4 Good will help Borrow My Angel develop an application designed to help anyone affected by depression & suicidal crisis find strength and hope through online connections and resources.
Help SGF (2016)
This project is a collaboration with Annie Busch, a community leader who has been working on homelessness issues for eight years. For the dozens of Springfield groups and agencies that help the homeless, communication is a big challenge.
Isabel's House (2019)
This project involves setup and configuration of an online Training Portal to streamline the required training process for volunteers and staff.
Life Strengths (2017)
This project is a collaboration with I Pour Life. This mobile app is designed to help at-risk youth through their Life Strengths program.
The Northwest Project
The Northwest Project is working to move 500+ families in Northwest Springfield Missouri out of poverty over the course of 5 years. This is a collaboration between Community Foundation of the Ozarks, Drury University, Missouri State University, and the Drew Lewis Foundation.
Annual Hackathon
Our annual competition gives designers and developers an opportunity to build a simple solution for a specific well-defined community project over the course of a weekend.
Quarterly Hack Nights
Our quarterly events give team leaders an opportunity to coordinate efforts with designers and developers on existing community projects.
Contribute to a community project with minimal time commitment, even if you are new to Hack Night.
