SP25 CST 462S: Website DevelopmentAt — Raíces y Cariño

Opportunity Summary 

We have a few ideas - one would be updating and smoothing out our website.
The other support needed is embedding into our website a referral system and showcase of doula providers. We'd also like to have an online resource library for our doulas.

We need support in updating our website to be smoother for community members. A volunteer made our website, but it is still not as easy to navigate for clients/community members/referring providers.

We are also launching a doula program with a full team of doulas. We need to be able to integrate these doulas' bios and the ability to submit a request form from our website. We would love to mutually envision what the doula program referral and bio list should look like. Our partner site, Parenting Connecting of Monterey County, is doing a mirrored program. But they have partners and more staff support to create some of these aspects.

Remote one-on-one meetings with the executive director and organization leaders to begin project development. Weekly meetings and calls as needed. 

Bilingual English/Spanish Desired. If a student isn't bilingual in English and Spanish, we can support them by reviewing the Spanish aspects.

 

RESERVED FOR CST 462S Students ONLY.
