Participants will help MAAPL build a new web site that will be used to defend Massachusetts families against illegal foreclosure. Participants with word processing skills will help build content for the site by uploading documents or transferring content from the old MAAPL web site. Participants with programming skills will help in the design and creation of web forms and SQL procedures.
Please email info@masspirates.org or maaplinfo@yahoo.com or call 508-630-1686 to join us!
