UCL Volunteering

There's plenty of good information on the web. We need help finding it. The different classes of information are:

Content Type	Audience
Headlines for the home page banner	Public
Topic Tree (links accessed from 'Tell me how...' on the home page). Priority categories and notes on selection here.	Vulnerable Parents Teachers Public
"Hamburger menu" links. (For reports accessed by clicking our logo)	Listeners Viewers Teachers Academia
Site "mining": Choosing links from a single authoritative site	Various
ESOL content: online safety information in simple English	Foreign-Speaking Adults
Foreign-language content: the foreign languages represented in London	Foreign-Speaking Adults
Glossary Definitions:Suggest words to include in our glossary of tech terms	Any

If you'd like to help with the creation of content, we are likely to regularly need the following:

• Grapic design of printed leaflets for use in sessions with the public
• Short audio and video presentations for use in sessions with the public
• Training Materials (audio, video, and printed matter)

We need help to get rid of content that is old or irrelevant. We also need opinions on whether to add new or change existing categories, and on how inviting and usable our site is.

We use a wide range of software, on our web site and for internal use. The work includes:

• Programming
• Software pre-release testing
• UX (user experience) testing
• Security - hardening our systems against attack

• Finding sources of funding
• Checking whether we comply with fundiing conditions
• Collating information for social value reporting to funders

There are a variety of activities in volunteer recruitment:

• Finding channels for recruiting volunteers
• Attending volunteer fairs
• On-boarding and training

We need partnerships with community organisations, and once established, they need maintaining.

• Finding partners
• Setting up events

We need presentaters, on Zoom or in-person.

• Presentations at events
• Partner training
