Key learning goals:
- Learn how to manage a small nonprofit (manage my time, multitasking ability, working with volunteers and staff)
- Communicate with outside companies (talking and setting up partnerships/sponsorships and applying for grants)
- Managing and tracking volunteers, financials, and inventory (working in CRM system to track volunteers applicants and donors, inventory system to track computers, and QuickBooks to track budget, earrings, cashflow)
The first-week plan: Organize desktops setups, list main goals on a whiteboard, make a daily to-do list every day, apply for a grant from the Hoboken family alliance community and other organizations, split and deliver 17 laptops to Workforce advantage, community access, BRC. Learn CRM, inventory, financial, systems. Begin newsletter and contact, interested volunteers. Start logging personal and volunteer hours
The second week: Continue grant applications and volunteer relations. Finalize schedule for pickup and delivery dates, find a driver, and possible C4P van.
The third week: Continue past endeavors. Possibly work on a new computer literacy program to be integrated into the C4P website.
Plans for weeks 4-6 are still to be determined depending on where we are at at the time.
Documentation Plan:
I will write a short blog post that documents the work done for the day. This blog will be used to help organize time, reflect on what needs to be worked on more, and tell a story both of the nonprofit and my personal growth and learning. The blog will be formatted around the questions “What did I do today? What work did I do to accomplish our goals? Both C4P and personal goals. What are the plans for tomorrow?”
