Work Flow

Project management & Work flow – who will be doing what and when will it be done?

Assignment:

Please describe how the REACH Weber program and technical assistance will be managed. For example: Who will be the lead contact and/or will there be a team working on this project? How is that person or team positioned within the department or city (if applicable)? How much time will be devoted to the project? (400 words or less)

Example:

Drs. Eddie Hill and Ron Ramsing, from Weber State and Western Kentucky Universities, will be the lead contacts and co-directors of the REACH. During the past 10 years, since the first REACH Camp was established, we generally have had twenty (20) or more Lions Clubs financially supporting the REACH Program each Lions Year. In addition, there have been at least 8-10 Lions Clubs represented during the Camp to assist with logistical needs, as well as providing water and snacks for campers during the daily activities. The Lions have also provided entertainment, first aid supplies and coordinated with the camp location to provide safety and security for the campers.

The Lions of Districts 28-U and 28-T will have numerous responsibilities relative to the planning and implementation of the Lions Diabetes Family Camp. It begins with the appointment of a Diabetes Camp Chairperson and Committee by the incoming District Governor each Lions Year. The Committee is responsible for assistance on developing the Camp Brochure and Registration Forms, as well as the distribution to the more than 30 Lions Clubs comprising Districts 28-U and 28-T.

Weber students will facilitate recreation activities for all three REACH programs (e.g., Tween/Teen Camp). The student volunteers are studying Outdoor Community Recreation Education (OCRE), Exercise Science, and Health Promotion, Nursing, and Physician’s Assistant (PA). Their responsibilities will be tied to community-engaged service learning and volunteer hours. REACH camps are programmed into the respective course curriculum required for the OCRE degree. This service-learning component is considered one of the high-impact practices from the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U).

All staff and students participating will have completed the appropriate screening and background checks required by state regulation to work at youth camps.

Primary Children’s Hospital, U of U Health Diabetes Clinic, and other healthcare professionals will volunteer for REACH programing (e.g., Monthly activities).

Please describe how the project will be managed. Include the role of any additional community partners, how decisions will be made, which part of the community will benefit most and why it was chosen.
