4. Use of pre and post surveys administered by program organizers to gauge
progress of students enrolled in the program.
5. Number of students that maintain a presence in the program by returning to
mentor new students.
6. Assessing grade changes and progress reports provided by teachers.
Feedback Plan
1. Use grades changes and progress reports will allow us to benchmark the
performance of students enrolled in the mentoring program.
2. Quarterly review of student grades benchmarked to grades prior to joining the
program.
3. Stakeholder meetings will be conducted quarterly to report on the survey results,
status and progress of the project
4. Feedback from volunteers, parents, and students.

2. Scope/Priority In Scope: Create the business case for orientation program for 6-8 graders at (TBD) school
1. The 10 “Core Values” Curriculum
2. Develop plan to recruit volunteers (coaches, mentors, board members, etc)
3. Develop procurement plan to obtain resources (needs, sources, cost)
4. Develop marketing and advertising plan
5. Develop methods to gather information on benchmarking the progress of students,
as well as feedback from volunteers.
Out of scope: Phase II of the project that will lead to putting the plan into action. Activities
such as achieving financial backing from private or corporate sponsors will be our first
major task once the orientation plan is complete. This may be an opportunity to team with
local tutoring organizations, such as Sylvan Learning Center, to expedite education goals
of student and teach effective study habits.
An opportunity may arise to sponsor a summer camp to reinforce the “Core Values” of the
program. This could involve class room training, guest lecturers, and games involving team
building.
