Canva templates for stories

Canva header format example: 2560 × 947 pixels
The header example uses the same image dimensions as this page’s hero. The current hero artwork illustrates the format for the Canva templates we will provide.

We will provide editable Canva templates for website hero images that double as blog post headers. Staff can reuse the same design for both.

We will show staff how to use the templates and provide an instructional video explaining how to change text and photos, export images and add them to the website.

This section would be unlocked for staff to use freely, so the team can create and share news, stories and updates using the supplied templates.

Staff can open the supplied Canva template, replace the photo and text, and export the header at 2560 × 947 pixels. The same design works for website hero images and blog post headers. Training and an instructional video will explain each step so staff can use this unlocked section freely and confidently.

Feedback from our participants

"I have been working at Yumaro for 6 or 7 years. I work sorting towels, cutting cloths and sewing. My support person is Linda, and we get along really well. What I like about Yumaro is there is really good work, a lot of nice people and good friends."

"I work at Yumaro doing a mix of work, from yard work to helping in the trucks picking up cardboard and plastic for recycling. It's tops working at Yumaro because I get to make new friends. At Yumaro we work as a team, we work hard to get the job done real fast, real smart.”

"The thing I like about Yumaro is its diversity of employees and the range of opportunities it provides. Yumaro has provided me a work environment where I feel comfortable and supported, there is a real sense of comradery and joy between the support team and employees."

"My job at Yumaro is working on the Bunnings rags. We always have some fun at work. I have made some good friends over the years. If you ever need help or get upset, there is always someone there that'll help. If I'm at home, I get bored, so it is really good to be around people who look out for me."

"lam a participant of the Yumaro School Leavers Employment Services (SLES) program. With SLES I do cooking every Thursday at the yummy café, I have learnt how to budget, food preparation and work environment skills. Yumaro has lovely support workers, Terry would be the coolest support worker!"

"I am an employee at the Yumaro Nursery & Garden Centre. The people at Yumaro are always friendly and very social and supportive and provide me transport to and from work. Some of my roles at the nursery include weeding, repotting plants, and watering the plants. I really enjoy my work here, but the best thing is getting paid each week."
