I researched the population breakdown of our target audience, and the breakdown of which generations are most likely to volunteer. I also researched how non-profits successfully recruit volunteers.

Visited the Communities in Schools headquarters. We also had a meeting with our community partner where we outlined the problem facing CIS and their expectations for our project.

I researched Communities in Schools (CIS) through the Texas Education Agency website to determine their connection and what specific areas of support CIS covers for students in need. Furthermore, I looked into similar organizations such as Big Brothers and Big Sisters and Lifeworks, and compared their goals and practices with those of CIS.
