Note: this internship is project-based. He or she will help us change our website over from an html/css-based site to a Wordpress site. In general, we'd like our new site to help get the word out to multiple audiences, load easily through a dial-up connection, and be easy to maintain so we can teach volunteers about website maintenance.

Days Per Week: 1-5 days/week
Length of Internship: About 2 months

Free Geek Supervisor: Michael

Responsibilities

  • Work with Shawn, the Outreach Committee, and a volunteer graphic designer to create a structure for our new website using Wordpress blogging software.

  • Submit work to the Outreach Committee for tweaks and changes.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience working with Wordpress, html, and CSS.

In addition:

The ideal candidate will be able to work well under stress and maintain a positive attitude in a relatively chaotic setting. The candidate will not be afraid to ask questions, but will be able to work on projects with minimal supervision. The candidate will be able to remain flexible as Free Geek grows and changes.

Benefits:

This position is an excellent opportunity to gain valuable job skills, make a difference for people and the environment, and make connections in the community. Active volunteers are eligible to receive a 20% discount on items in the Free Geek Thrift Store and to become a member of the First Tech Credit Union.
