What we'd like to talk about
I'd like to learn more about updating and designing my WordPress site. I'd like to spend the entire hour as a tutorial. This is an exiting new opportunity on catchafire I would like to try out.
Additional context
With this new option to request a tutorial I wanted to give it a try. I am the self-taught WP webmaster (via Lydia videos) for our website and inside tips from experts are very welcome. Our old website was in Drupal and had been switched to WP due the generosity of a local volunteer.
"Phone calls" are 1 hour, one-time calls with an organization. Learn the difference between volunteering on a Phone call and a Project here.

Our mission
Kokua Mau's vision is a community where the people of Hawai`i are treated with dignity, compassion and love throughout their lives. (This is Kokua Mau's highest aspiration.)
To make that vision a reality, our mission is to weave a lei of caregiving and support so that the people of Hawai`i facing serious illness can live in the place of their choice, with relief of pain and suffering, and according to their values, beliefs and traditions.
What we do
Kokua Mau has a three-fold approach to achieving our goals.
1. We support people who may be facing serious illness and their loved ones by providing information to help them understand decisions they may need to make and find resources and information in our community.
2. We provide education and networking to professionals.
3. Bringing about policy and systems change. We partner with hospitals and health plans to advise, advocate, train and educate for change.
4. Providing relevant up-to-date information about COVID-19 for our network kept us incredibly busy for over a year.
We're launching an ambitious program to increase our impact by getting our community talking about people's wishes for care where they work, live and pray. We'll need to develop appropriate messages and campaigns for Hawaii's diverse and vibrant population.
Testimonials
It was a pleasure to talk with Allen. He taught me many new aspects of possible Salesforce and WordPress integration I had no idea where possible. Especially ticks that are very useful for small non-profits. The examples we talked about I could see in real time on websites he had worked on. Seeing something implemented is very useful for us. We also discussed our planned microsite. I can highly recommend talking with him if you want complex programing issues explained in plain English.
Markus is a fast learner, and very knowledgable about technology. He is easy to work with.
