Motivation and Objectives
The Outreach Team is a vital and unique part of AguaClara that allows engineering and non-engineering majors to focus their attention on funding and promoting the organization. AguaClara is attempting to sustain itself financially while publicizing and promoting its achievements and seeking contacts to further its mission.
The goals of the Outreach Team include raising awareness of AguaClara both in the Cornell and Ithaca community, and raising funds to build plants and support those working for AguaClara in Honduras. The Outreach Team is constantly looking for new funding opportunities to expand on campus research.
The team is also responsible for establishing outreach team has three major goals. The first goal is to raise awareness of AguaClara to the general public and to the Cornell Community. The second goal is fundraising both to build plants in Honduras and for conducting research to improve and design AguaClara plants at Cornell. Finally we need to establish processes, precedents, and standards for future outreach teams.
Precedents
We will work to document our team members by documenting procedures and methods to which make outreach it easier for future outreach teams.
Other tasks
We will work to recruit other people based on skills needed. Potential examples included an art/graphic design related major to work on promotional materials, someone with educational experience to work on developing a lesson plan and any other skills that may contribute to AguaClara. We will work with the project team leader to bring in appropriate speakers to teach the team about areas related to AguaClara.
