Web design volunteer

Community Leeds After-School Study Support (CLASSS) is a local charity that aims to improve the educational achievements of children and young people in the Chapeltown, Harehills and Chapel Allerton areas of Leeds.

Could you design a simple website for the charity that the children and their parents will be able to identify with?

This role will give you the opportunity to demonstrate your web skills and expand your portfolio.

CLASSS aims to

• Help children and young people specifically from the Chapeltown and Harehills areas but, where possible, also other areas of Leeds to enable them to acquire skills and qualifications to enable them to compete successfully for employment in the field of new technology and in the science-based sectors of the community
• Provide facilities to enable children and young people, primarily from Chapeltown and Harehills, to develop and enhance their educational potential
• Encourage the involvement of parents in the education of their children
• Provide a suitable environment for children and young people to do their homework and to study for examinations and assessments
• Support the work of schools in the area
• Help raise expectations and hopes of children and parents for a better future
• Promote an interest in reading and learning by providing interesting materials and by encouragement
• By example and insistence on acceptable behaviour, show children how to relate to others around them
• To encourage volunteer helpers and to support them in their help with the children.
