Our website was created by our Vice President when he began working with us in 2023. He was not the Vice President at that time and now has many other demands on his time. In addition to working with us he has a full time plus job and four children. He has told us he is willing to give access to our website to any volunteer with the proper skills and education. We desperately need someone to do this for us. We have many events and opportunities as well as a lot of information pertinent to the population that needs to be added to our website. I do not believe this person has to be local as long as they can access our website and receive documents by email. Long term we would like to make some larger changes to our website but in the immediate future we just need to upload some changes. This volunteer should be a person with the formal skills to edit and maintain a website, with at least one example of a website they have created or maintained. This person should also have sufficient time to invest in this activity. There will be weeks when nothing is needed but there will also be weeks when eight hours are needed. When the volunteer initially applies, if they are accepted, they may receive quite a few requests for updates. The volunteer needs to be able to prioritize and communicate with us regarding what can be done and in what time frame. Ideally, this is a longer term commitment, lasting until a replacement can be found. We use Go Daddy and our website is homelessfl.org

About Broward Coalition for the Homeless also known as the Coalition to End Homelessness

Location:

P.O. Box 030177, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33303, US

Mission Statement

To End Homelessness through changing lives. We interpret this overwhelming mission by changing one life at a time. In addition to providing serves to those experiencing homelessness we provide community education and advocacy to make more people aware of the crisis of homelessness and the lack of affordable housing in South Florida (Palm Beach, Dade and Broward counties). The Coalition operates primarily by volunteers.

Description

The Coalition provides a number of services for people, including children, experiencing homelessness. We are a volunteer led and operated organization. Everyone you meet here will probably be a volunteer, many of them serving many hours a month. This is not a one and done. We find that our best volunteers are those who care deeply about helping people experiencing homelessness. Those not passionate about the cause tend to move along at some point or get easily overwhelmed by other thing in life. Most people are attracted to our "Pay the Rent First" Program which provides first, last, and security to homeless families. All our family mentors are volunteers who are able to help mostly single mothers and young children get settled. Other priorities are assistance with fundraising, so we can house more families, education programs for specific groups and for members of the public, collaboration with other like-minded groups, advocacy, and volunteer training and development. Whatever your skill set, if you have time to help us, we can find work for you to do that will make a meaningful difference. We were incorporated in 1989 and received our 501(c)3 in 1992. Over the years our work has changed and will continue to be responsive to community needs. I will end by telling you that we desperately need volunteers for many different positions (except feeding the homeless on Thanksgiving or Christmas or any other day). Whatever your skills, if you have time to contribute and care about the cause, we can use you.
