The Maroondah Citizens Advice Bureau is a not-for-profit community organisation which provides advice, referrals and emergency relief to people in need.

The organisation provides monthly training sessions for its volunteers to encourage the development of new skills and to provide an opportunity to keep volunteers informed of activities within the organisation.

This afternoon I conducted a training session on the organisation’s new website. The Maroondah Citizens Advice Bureau has not previously had a website presence and hence the training session provided an overview of the website and its content.

The website is managed using a content management system which means the committee of management will be able to readily add and modify content on the site. The website is designed to promote the organisation to prospective volunteers, clients and donors and hence needs to cater to three diverse target groups.

The website is expected to finalised at Monday’s committee of management and will then become publicly available on the Internet.
