Opportunity

The Toronto Local Charity is a registered volunteer‑run charity serving marginalized youth aged 16–29 in the Greater Toronto Area. We need a developer to bring our refreshed brand and Figma design to life in WordPress. This is a well‑scoped build with no design decisions or copy to write. Just clean implementation of a finished design into a live site that will serve our community for years to come.

What You'll Be Working On

- Build the WordPress site from a completed Figma design, implementing all pages, layouts, and brand assets accurately
- Ensure full mobile responsiveness — our audience is young and mobile‑first
- Configure plugins for performance, security, and accessibility as needed
- Support ongoing updates as new programs and content are added throughout the year
- Maintain working files and documentation in TLC's shared Google Drive
- Communicate proactively via Slack

Qualifications

- Believing in our cause is mandatory
- Solid WordPress development experience — theme customization, page builders, plugin configuration




- Ability to build accurately from a Figma file — pixel‑level attention to detail matters here
- Strong attention to detail and a commitment to brand consistency
- Self‑directed and async‑capable
- Proactive communicator who flags blockers early
- Portfolio of past WordPress builds required

Bonus

- SEO knowledge, including setting up redirects from thelocalcharity.com to the new thelocalcharity.org
