Website Construction (CMS-Based)

Project details

What we need
  • Development of a new website using a Content Management System (CMS)
  • Training to ensure Organization's staff members can update content and manage the site post-launch
  • Note: This project is for a website built with a Content Management System (CMS), such as Wordpress, Squarespace, Joomla, Drupal, or Weebly . A CMS-based website can be maintained and updated easily (no coding required!)
Additional details

We are looking to develop a website on the NationBuilder platform. For more info: http://nationbuilder.com/designers

What we have in place
  • We currently have wireframes, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a designer working on site artwork, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to reach 50 more youth.

The success of our organization depends on a great website. Without your help, we cannot communicate and fundraise. Your skills will empower us to thrive.

Our mission

YPP uses Math Literacy Work to develop the abilities of elementary through high school students to succeed in school and in life, and in doing so involves them in efforts to eliminate institutional obstacles to their success.

What we do

Founded in 1996, by a group that included 8 eighth grade students from Brinkley Middle School in Jackson, Mississippi, it is YPP’s goal to train, employ and support 1000 high school students to become Great Math Literacy Workers (MLWs) over the next 10 years through partnerships with local organizations, schools and institutions. Great MLWs begin by teaching math to elementary students in their neighborhoods and become engaged citizens prepared to make a difference in their own lives and in their communities.
