Program Strategy & Goals

Project Details

What We Need
  • Evaluation of current programmatic needs and how a program plan can address them
  • Recommendations for an appropriate course of action to reach the desired objectives, including guidance on how to allocate resources and measure success
  • Plan that outlines the resources and steps required to reach short- and long-term goals
Additional Details

We need someone to help us develop our national expansion plan; that is, how to grow from our current founding site in Cincinnati to opening in new regions. We have questions about everything from what model to use to the actual process and timeline.

What We Have In Place
  • We have thought through some of the big questions we need to address but need expertise in answering those questions.
    We also recognize that it will take time and resources (people and dollars) to do correctly so are approaching the work with patience and a desire to do this right not fast.
How This Will Help
This project will save us $6,775 , allowing us to almost fully fund a participant. We do not charge our participants for our program because we believe cost should not be a barrier to advocacy but it costs us about $7,000 per participant.

We know that the work we are doing in Cincinnati is needed in other districts around the country. We are looking to expand our impact by growing to two new sites within two years.
