Class Scheduler Application

Problem: There is a strong demand from immigrants for naturalization classes in NYC. There is also a large supply of volunteers offering to teach such classes. The bottleneck is that connecting immigrants and volunteers is done manually by non-profit staff, who do not have the capacity to provide matching/scheduling services.

Purpose: Build a Rails app that lets clients schedule naturalization classes with volunteers.
