Project Management & Outreach Systems Setup

The volunteer will help BOTW build a simple, centralized project management and outreach system that improves organization, accountability, and follow-through.

Key deliverables may include:

A centralized project management tracker or workspace for priorities, deadlines, owners, and next steps

A partnership and employer outreach tracker for contacts, conversations, follow-up dates, and opportunities

A meeting and action-item tracking process

Reusable outreach, follow-up, and partnership communication templates

A recommended digital file and folder structure for key organizational documents

Simple workflows for recurring tasks such as outreach, meeting follow-up, and project updates

Basic guidance or documentation showing how BOTW should maintain the systems after the project ends

Success means BOTW has an organized, easy-to-use system for managing projects, partnerships, outreach, and follow-up without relying on disconnected spreadsheets, notes, or individual memory. The completed tools should be practical enough for leadership to use immediately and scalable for future staff or volunteers.
