Grant Writing
Our organization is interested in addressing social causes within our community. We're a small organization that has begun to grow pretty rapidly and we're in need of funding to continue the work that we do. We work closely with at-risk youth and their families through life skills and peer support programs. We would like to collaborate with students to find and complete grant applications.This will involve several different steps for the students, including:Familiarizing themselves with our vision statement and a project we have defined.Developing a needs statement that characterizes the community problem and justifies the need for our project and funding.Identifying potential sponsors and funding opportunities that are a good fit for our organization and project.Improving the clarity and persuasiveness of our company's grant proposal writing.Bonus steps in the process would also include:Identifying new opportunities for community projects.
Program Curriculum and Workbook Design
Our organization provides life skills workshops and peer support groups for at risk youth in our community. We are looking to develop a curriculum that will become seamless for volunteers to use when working with our youth. We provide in-person and virtual workshops and we want the same curriculum to be used for both. We would like to work with students to determine what materials would find useful to go into the curriculum and workbook for students. Based on this information, students can then recommend the design etc.Tasks include:Gathering relevant curriculum material based on the outline that will be given and content information from our previous courses.Researching options for curriculum and workbook ideas.Assessing existing content and material and making suggestions and improvements.Assisting in designing the curriculum and workbook.
