What we’re about
## We are happy to announce our group has been selected to participate in the WordPress do_action program!
### What is do_action?
Many of us know that the do_action(); prompt in WordPress coding initiates a function and/or launches an action. Do_action events are opportunities for WordPress developers, designers and site builders to help deserving charitable organizations while sharing information with one another about WordPress innovations and techniques. Done correctly a do_action event can serve as a miniaturized WordCamp where everyone learns something new and makes new friends and contacts with the added bonus and satisfaction of doing something tangible to improve their community.
We are planning to hold a series of events in the spring of 2024 to build a specific website for a specific organization and are hoping that this will serve as a template for many future projects to come.

Upcoming events (2)
See all- The do_action event is on!CoLab Evanston Downtown, Evanston, IL
Our meetup group has been recruited by the WordPress foundation to start hosting do_action events and will begin on Thursday June 13 and Saturday June 15.
The aim of a do_action event is two-fold:- To use our knowledge of WordPress to help a local not-for-profit on a web related project
- To use this opportunity to exchange ideas and techniques – a sort of mini WordCamp
Our project will be to customize a WordPress site using full site editing methodology for “Breakthrough Karate” - an organization that teaches people with Parkinson’s disease to use karate exercises to help retain better body control.
We have two scheduled sessions:
Thursday (6/13) 7-9pm
Saturday (6/15) 2:30-5;30pmIf you want to help, to lurk, or come to learn… you are welcome!
