The Challenge

Administrative Intermediate

Using AI to reconcile conflicting volunteer availability and create an optimized, conflict-free shift schedule for a community center.

Your Mission

You are the Volunteer Coordinator for the 'Harbor Community Center,' which hosts three major programs: the weekly tutoring session (Mondays, 4:00 PM), the Saturday food drive sorting (Saturdays, 9:00 AM), and the monthly community garden maintenance (First Saturday of the month, 10:00 AM). You have five key volunteers, including Maria (available only Tuesdays and Fridays), David (available only Mondays and Wednesdays), and Sarah (available only Saturdays and Sundays). The deadline for finalizing the schedule for the next six weeks is Friday, October 20th. You must use AI to input the constraints and generate a schedule that minimizes volunteer fatigue and ensures adequate coverage for all three roles.
