Participate as a ClientMany of our classes require students to work in teams on a defined communication need. When possible, we partner with an organization whose needs align with the class teachings. The project spans the length of the academic quarter (three months) and the specific deliverable varies depending on the class. Examples include content strategy proposals (recommendations for website improvements), audience or customer engagement strategies, and crafting an organizational narrative. Client fees begin at $1500 and nonprofit rates are available. Please address the following questions.Please explain a communication challenge or need that your organization currently faces.Examples of communication needs include: developing new messages, reaching new audiences, educating constituents or the public on a particular issue r campaign, defining and telling you organization’s story.Based on the challenge or need described above, what kind of deliverable would best help you achieve this?Short mission-driven videoPublic engagement strategyResearch and messaging guideContent strategy proposals (recommendations for website improvements)I don't knowOtherWhat specific goals do you hope to achieve through this engagement?Participate in our Pro Bono Partner Program We provide pro bono communications support to nonprofit organizations in our community. Here is how it typically works: 1. After you complete the form below, Comm Lead faculty and staff will meet with a representative of your organization to discuss your communication needs and identify a defined deliverable that can (usually) be accomplished in one academic quarter (about 3 months). 2. Our team then recruits top students to execute these projects. These students act as independent consultants for the organization and Comm Lead faculty and staff provide advising as needed. Students are rewarded with a scholarship to help with their tuition in exchange for participating in this program. While we are focusing on housing security, affordability and homelessness in the greater Seattle-area 2018-2019 school year, we are still open to collaborations with nonprofits focused on other important causes.
