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!)
What we have in place
  • We currently have a full set of designs, a prototype and a site map, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a list of all our storyteller videos and their webpage links, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to design and publish a NEW NATIONAL graphic novel inspired by the stories we share!

Our current website was built years ago and no longer serves our needs! We have designed a new website that will totally elevate our work. It will have a video database and membership structure which will help us move closer to our mission.

Our mission

Green Card Voices is a non-profit organization that records and shares first person narratives of America's immigrants. We work to facilitate a better understanding between immigrant and non-immigrant communities through the art of storytelling.
Our dynamic, multimedia materials are designed to empower a variety of educational institutions, community groups and individuals alike to acquire first-person perspectives about immigrants' lives, increasing the appreciation of the immigrant experience in America.

What we do

We're traveling the country and listening to those with the courage to share their journey, documenting each story in an authentic and unbiased way. America has 43 million immigrants, and Green Card Voices works to share their diverse stories and experiences, to show the incredible breadth of the immigrant population. Once recorded, these stories are shared via our website and social media platforms, as well as in books and traveling exhibits.

Immigrants have played a vital role at each turn in our nation's history, and they continue to do so today. By sharing these stories, we can instill a sense of pride in our nation's immigrant population and thank them for all of their contributions.
