Project details

What we need
  • Document outlining feedback on pitch delivery with suggested next steps and/or resources
  • A script for a 1-minute verbal pitch that communicates your Organization's mission, work, and why people should care
Additional details

Our newest staff member, Renaissance, is a practiced public speaker, but would like to learn how to be more concise.

What we have in place
  • We currently have a mission statement, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a lot of information on our campaigns, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $824 , allowing us to continue our badass work!

As a new staff member, Renaissance would like to get more comfortable concisely explaining our campaigns. He's one of our Co-Directors of Campaigns, and his work will be critical to the development and strength of our campaigns.
