We need a new website

Hello. My name is Peter and I am fundraising for Journey to Diversity Workplaces (J2DW,) a Canadian federally-chartered non-profit organization that desperately needs a new website.
J2DW was founded in 2013 and the first site came a few months later. Then after a few years, we switched to WordPress and a volunteer worked on the site.

Now to help highlight the work we are doing, we badly need a new website.

For the past 9 years, volunteers and summer students have written articles on various workplace topics such as safety, diversity, and the human condition. We even have an expert Library full of APA-formatted essays.

In the future, we expect more of this, along with our newly launched podcast, Diversity on Air.

The funds you donate will help change how this is presented and bring new audiences to our forum.

We’re looking for one, maybe two people to deliver a 20 – 40 minute speech around workplace safety and/or workplace diversity.

This gig pays nothing but we’re happy to promote you in our materials both promoting the meeting and separately.
