Volunteer Positions

Positions: Volunteer WordPress Web Developer
Organization: Biosphere Eco-Cities Canada
Location: remote, anywhere in Canada

Do you have experience with WordPress and website development?

Would you like to help make our cities more sustainable?

You could help us maintain Biosphere Eco-City (BEC) websites. A Biosphere Eco-City (BEC) uses information and projects to engage people in sustainability. The national website (BioEcoCity.org) explains this approach.

THE VOLUNTEER WORK

Biosphere Eco-Cities Canada (BECC) is seeking two or three Web Development volunteers to update WordPress websites for four BEC cities. Those websites are Toronto.BioEcoCity.org, Brampton.BioEcoCity.org, Edmonton.BioEcoCity.org, and Vancouver.BioEcoCity.org.

Currently, seven BEC project teams operate in the four cities. Up-to-date websites are important for success of the projects. At times, new project information needs to be added to the sites. Content will be provided. As a volunteer web developer, you will input and format that material.

In addition to new team projects, there is an initiative to create a Database of Sustainability Projects for each city. This allows residents of the city to see the good works going on around them. The database is a set of short project summaries that are input to a template (child theme) on each site and published. New database postings may happen every week or two.

Your work would be done remotely, with flexible times, in cooperation with staff and volunteers. The expected time commitment for these positions is 3-4 hours per week for six months.

To be able to do this work, you would need experience with WordPress, HTML and CSS. It would be nice also if you had experience with cPanel.

We can organize an online interview at a time convenient to you.
