KARA Website Enhancement Initiative

Kids At Risk Action (KARA) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advocating for the welfare of at-risk children. The current WordPress website serves as a crucial platform for outreach, information dissemination, and community engagement. However, the site requires enhancements to improve user experience, accessibility, and content management. The goal of this project is to optimize the website's functionality and design, ensuring it effectively supports KARA's mission. The project will involve analyzing the existing website, identifying areas for improvement, and implementing changes that align with best practices in web design and user experience. Key tasks include updating the site's layout, enhancing navigation, and ensuring mobile responsiveness. This project provides an opportunity for learners to apply their web development skills in a real-world context, contributing to a meaningful cause.

Voices for Change: Child Protection Podcast

The project is building a compelling podcast series engaging the community in meaningful conversations about child abuse and child protection in America. The goal is to raise awareness, educate listeners, and inspire action by sharing stories, expert insights, and resources. The podcast series is a platform for discussing the realities, challenges and solutions related to child protection, fostering a more informed and proactive community. Students will apply their knowledge of media production, communication, and social issues to develop content that resonates with a diverse audience. By engaging a community of child friendly constituents in a conversation about the needs of abused and neglected children will help find a path to supporting the people, programs and policies that will heal children and give them the skills they need to succeed in life. By starting conversations about how communities are succeeding and failing in keeping children safe we will build understanding and advocacy for ways to improve their lives. KARA seeks help identifying process, pitfalls, and best practices in podcasting and finding support to make this a success on a larger scale.
