48in48 NYC Volunteer Kickoff

What if we could build 48 websites for 48 NYC nonprofits in 48 hours? Would you be a part of it?

48in48 understands that many nonprofits have small budgets and choose to spend their money doing good rather than looking good. This November, 48in48 will host a massive hackathon, working directly with nonprofits to marketing themselves in a way they deserve. They will join forces with local agencies and individual professionals from the marketing, creative and technology industries to build 48 websites for 48 lucky nonprofits in our area.

Coding skills are not needed to participate. Skill sets needed are:

Project Manager Coordinate all team tasks and act as liaison to their designated nonprofits facilitating branding and content needs for the 6 weeks leading up to the event weekend. Initiate communications with selected nonprofits by early August.

WordPress Guru - Expert in configuring Wordpress. Will help select plugins/themes to add functioning.

Graphic Designer - Visual design talent and will ensure the quality of the look of the site.

Digital Marketer - Understands digital marketing and help ensure the site they are building for the nonprofit is helping to accomplish the goals of the nonprofit.

Front-End Developer Will work with the designer to customize the layout of the theme.  This will consist of adjustments to the color palette, typography and minor refinements on element positioning and spacing.

Content Manager Will work as part of each project team to shape appropriate, keyword rich content that achieves site goals and fits page designs.

Jack of all Trades A quick learner and happy to help however they can.  Ideally, they are technically proficient. 

We hope you and your colleagues take advantage of this opportunity to use your professional skills for good to enhance the digital landscape of nonprofits.
