Cool 2.0 is our project to build a new website with additional functionality and optimised UX, including a full rebrand and change in domain, coolaustralia.org to cool.org. We are investing heavily in this project and require assistance to ensure we transition in a way that fixes existing issues with our data and optimises data capture and use.

-Reviewing our existing database
-Assisting us with some technical specifications
-Providing some transformation advice
-Meet with our team and our vendor to ensure our developers have what they need to deliver the right solution.

Timeframe: ASAP to feed into Cool 2.0 (Cool 2.0 is our project to build a new website with additional functionality and optimised UX, including a full rebrand and change in domain, coolaustralia.org to cool.org).

As an organisation where content marketing is as equally important to our operational objectives as the production of the highest quality educational content, being able to capitalise on our database of users to better share our content with them in a meaningful, engaging way is a top priority. For our users, we should be able to communicate with them in a way that will enhance their user experience and lead them to better, more relevant content. For our funding partners, we should be able to analyse, evaluate and report on the performance of the educational content they have funded in a way that gives meaning and considered insights on the value added by our content.

At present, we have three databases providing data with which we will create segmented email campaigns and report to partners on the performance of the lessons they have funded but, due to legacy issues and the capacity of the platforms used to analyse the respective databases, the data we use is of relatively minor use to us from a communications perspective and of superficial value to our partners.
To truly achieve our operational objectives of providing our user base with the content they want to see and in a format, they are going to pay attention to, and to report to our partners in a meaningful and insightful way, we need to be able to better understand what gold is hidden within our databases, what the limitations are of the data we have and guidance on ways to optimise the use of the data.

Goal: Get a better handle on the data we have and what we should be aiming for in the short term, as well as the move to Cool 2.0.

Measurements: Note: these measures are somewhat vague at present because we don’t really know what we don’t know when it comes to our database and its potential.
-The time taken to extract useful data from databases is reduced.
-The volume of ‘useful’ data increases beyond what we currently have and use.
-Available data is leveraged to increase site traffic by at least 15%.

Indicators of achievement:
-The Cool Team is better able to extract useful data from databases to be used in user communications and partner reporting.
-The Cool Team knows the limitations of the existing databases and is able to proactively address these in the development of Cool 2.0.
-Future databases are optimised to provide the data required to communicate with our users better and report to funding partners in a more authentic way.

The main role of a Mentor is to help Ninjas through the basics of coding and to assist them in their own self led learning by creating their own projects. CoderDojo’s learning philosophy is inherently project based so Ninjas will work on their own ideas and apply them to websites, games etc.

A CoderDojo Mentor is a technically skilled individual who guides CoderDojo attendees (Ninjas) and facilitates their learning. As Dojos are set up and run by volunteers, each will have a different set of skills and way of learning available to them.

Become a mentor for children across the globe! This is an incredible way to give service online, especially since most of the world's schools are still closed due to COVId-19, and this is the only educational resource these kids will have.

It’s super easy to get to started (check out our website), and it’s fun to get connected and help mentor these children. Once you are paired with a child, your sessions only take 30 minutes a week, and our fun interactive training sessions will help you be successful.

Books open children’s minds to a world of possibilities and give them the tools they need to dream bigger. And you can inspire that within them through mentoring!

The Club is expecting to stay open, even if the Camden School District goes to Virtual Learning, therefore we will need to replenish the school supplies we distributed to families on March 17th when we went to our Stay At Home Order. Since then, we distributed all our games, books, toys and have done numerous food distributions and provided much needed cleaning supplies to a dozen families in severe need. We will be doing a Shoe Drive Fundraiser, so collecting new and gently used shoes would be extremely helpful. If we can have someone help coordinate and get the word out that would be ideal. We need more cleaning supplies to give to our needy families. Making cards and encouraging pictures/messages for the children & families about wearing masks, washing hands and social distancing is really important! Please help us slow the spread of COVID-19 and fill the needs in Camden. Thank you!

The Rising Stars Career Mentoring program will connect young people aged 18-25 from challenging backgrounds with successful mentors from business and sports communities. Our volunteer mentors will be experienced professionals who together with our team will provide opportunities for young people to access practical advice and guidance in order to support career ambitions.

Young women & men are already being impacted due to the Covid 19 economic environment and in particular in the area of employment. For young people with challenging situations their limited experience and workplace skills will make accessing a full-time job even more challenging in the times ahead. Without robust support a likely outcome is disengagement rather than participation in jobs and training.

Fill out the EOI to get started:
https://form.typeform.com/to/MIUgR6

RISING STARS Mentors will provide a young person with the opportunity to:
▪ Learn from and be guided by an experienced business professional
▪ Reflect on career goals and future ambitions
▪ Develop job-seeking skills and support to find a job
▪ Build their professional network and make new contacts
▪ Gain confidence and develop new skills that will assist them throughout their life
▪ Understand career pathways available once in a job

How long does the program go for?
The program is over a minimum six-month period but typically lasts for 12 months and beyond.

What are the commitments of a mentor?
▪ Mentors are expected to commit to the program for a minimum of 6 months and may participate beyond this period if mutually agreed with the mentees. It’s up to you to decide at the level you want to connect, but most mentors will communicate on a monthly basis. Each relationship is different and comes with its benefits and opportunities. There are 3 levels of mentoring available through the program:

Level 1: Motivational Mentor- These mentors encourage young people towards a career, providing positive input and feedback to succeed in life, practical advice and belief in what they can achieve (minimum contact once per month)

Level 2: Make it Work Mentor- These mentors provide practical job searching tips and tools, assisting with resumes, interview skills, job readiness, and post-employment career support. (minimum contact once per fortnight over first 3 months).

Level 3: Maximum Opportunity Mentor- These mentors go above and beyond to actually find job opportunities for young people and assist in making sure they end up with a job (minimum contact once per week over first 3 months).
