Assignment Content
Your team is working on a solution to a problem you identified in the community. For this assignment, you will be putting together a presentation of your initial plan and design for a community program. Your presentation should be designed to be delivered to the board of directors for your non-profit agency. The board of directors is responsible for signing off on any large expenditures and significant use of resources within the agency.
The goal of the presentation is to seek the board's feedback and approval on moving forward with the development of the program and the funding process.
Focus in on the social problem you chose to jointly investigate when you selected your team.
Share your research with your teammates from the Week 1 Community Needs Worksheet you completed.
Select a "worst case" real community (i.e., where the needs are quite bad, even if not your own) to plan, design, and develop a program to address the needs you have uncovered.
Create a 12- to 15-slide presentation that includes the following: Human Trafficking
An explanation of the underlying theory for your program (refer back to pp. 31 and 90 in Designing and Managing Programs: An Effectiveness-based Approach)
SMART goals and objectives for your proposed program, as well as the target population
A description of the interventions and services you will provide, including a basic activities list (also called process objectives) and a high-level implementation timeline
Ideas and rationale for establishing a community partnership (for example, an agency that specializes in substance abuse treatment might need a partnership to address AIDS testing for a certain grant or program, or a firm that does budget counseling might need to partner with a housing agency to treat homeless people who are in debt)
The resources you need to implement and evaluate your program
The methods you will use to measure the success of your program
An evaluation of how the proposed program elements and objectives meet the desired outcomes of the program
Use a Reference slide in your presentation to acknowledge any sources you use.
Note: Online Students: Include speaker notes in your presentation to show what you would say if you were delivering it to a live audience.
Classroom Students: Deliver your presentation in class based on the schedule established by your instructor.Your presentation should be approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Each team member should be involved in delivering the presentation.
Submit your assignment.
