Description

Description Currently, there's no clear way for visitors to learn how to get involved with GDI in various ways.

Ask Create a page for anyone who wants to get involved--whether as a Chapter Leader, instructor, TA, volunteer, sponsor, or someone who wants to take a class or stay updated via the meetup page. The page could describe each role and the next step(s) for anyone interested. Navigationally, this page could "live" in the footer or be a tab at the top level.

To Do

  • Draft page content
  • Build and publish page
  • Link to page in top nav and/or footer

Additional Info SF's meetup page has some good content describing the various roles: http://www.meetup.com/Girl-Develop-It-San-Francisco/pages/How_You_Can_Help/

Research direction
Review the existing website's navigation and footer to determine where to add the link. Examine the referenced Meetup page for content ideas. Look at the repository's file structure (likely pages or components) to decide where to add the new page. Check recent comments for any design or content decisions.
