Basic knowledge of HTML/CSS

Familiarity with SEO fundamentals

At Uniformed we've supported hundreds of families and children access free good quality school uniform. Through this we've acquired a treasure of data on what sort of uniforms people are buying, where our beneficiaries are located and other insights that would be incredibly valuable to the charity as we continue to grow!

However, we don't have the skills to pull all the data together and generate the insights.

So, we're looking for someone with data engineering/science experience to conduct a data analysis project for us to pull out the most impactful data insights to inform our strategy moving forward as we grow the charity to become the go-to organisation for uniform support in the UK!

Yonge Street Mission’s annual Backpack Drive ensures that children and youth living with poverty in Toronto can start the school year with confidence and dignity. For 2025, we need 500 fully stocked backpacks to young people supported through our Family Services program, as well as to mothers connected to our Evergreen Centre for Street-Involved Youth.

Currently we have about 250 committed, and we could use 250 more – and would love the BMO team’s support! Staff may consider purchasing and packing backpacks individually, or the supplies could be bought in bulk (though please consider the quality of the backpacks purchased, sometimes backpacks can fall apart quickly which is upsetting for students) and packed at BMO and then delivered to Yonge Street Mission. If of interest, we are also happy to host a group at our office for a kit-packing session and provide a tour of our family services program to deepen understanding of children/youth needs in Regent Park.

Access to school supplies is often out of reach for the families we serve, and this initiative helps relieve financial pressure while empowering students to participate fully in school life. Each backpack contains age-appropriate supplies and reflects our broader mission to meet immediate needs and support long-term transformation for vulnerable communities.
