Website Construction (CMS-Based)
Website Construction (CMS-Based)
Project details
What we need
- The creation of an improved WordPress-hosted website
- Training to ensure we can update content and manage the site post-launch
What we have in place
- We have experience with WordPress.org as we have been operating a WordPress website since 2010 and maintaining it in-house.
We have clear-cut goals for the website as well as some content and will know what we will need to develop once we decide on all the features we want.
Additionally, we have selected a WordPress.org theme.
How this will help
This project will save us $16,822 , allowing us to provide a 6-session School Site Council training to 20 parents at low-performing schools.
Effectively telling the story of our organization's impact is critical to our efforts to expand our efforts to increase parent leaders in counties across the Bay Area. Upgrading our website to be a core organizing tool and tell our story succinctly and powerfully is key to our next phase of growth. We need support with page development to shift to primary parent and organization audience.
Project plan
Our mission
Bay Area Parent Leadership Action Network (PLAN) is an Oakland based organization that develops the leadership and builds the power of parents to transform schools so that all students achieve their student succes
What we do
We train parents and families to believe that their voices matter, while we develop their skills and knowledge that will strengthen their capacity to advocate for their children. We build strong school-based partnerships among families, teachers, staff and principals using transformative family engagement practices that transform schools. We organize a network of parents from different cultures who support each other, create a shared analysis of institutional racism's impact on students of color, and an understanding of the need for systemic change. We develop parent leaders who build a membership and support base of families, teachers, staff, and principals to organize campaigns that promote change- in values, practices, system design and resources.
