UCL Volunteering

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

Content Type	Audience
Headlines for the banner on our home page	Public
Links categorised in the Topic Tree, accessed from 'Tell me how...' on the home page. Notes on selection here.	Vulnerable Parents Teachers Public
"Collections", accessed by clicking our logo	Listeners Viewers Teachers Academia
Relevant links from single site	Various
Foreign-Language	Foreign-Speaking Adults
Glossary: Suggest words for 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
