OUR STRATEGIC PRIORITIES FOR 2012-2014
Academic Rigor Building leadership, teamwork, & business skills
BIG CHEESE & HUNGER SUMMIT CONTENT The Big Cheese and The Hunger Summit have been redesigned to 1) more practically equip FG leaders to engage their chapter in every aspect of the FG program as a way to ensure their success, 2) create a stronger identity with FG as a movement and therefore engender ownership of movement wide goals, and 3) connect students with each other, the landscape of hunger so that their motivation is deeply grounded and can sustain their full participation.
LEADERSHIP LABS
We have created a series of engaging modules to help FG leaders develop important changemaker skills for running a successful grilled cheese delis. Each module, called a Lab, is about 20 minutes long, and usually combines either a short video or a PowerPoint presentation with one or more suggested activities. Leaders engage with these Journeys alone or with members of their leadership/officer team, in whatever order that best fits their needs, leadership position or interests.
CHAPTER MEETING LABS Following the design of the Leadership Labs, the Chapter Meeting Labs focus on hunger education as well as developing skills in entrepreneurship and team building.
VCA The VCA, our strategic planning process for FeelGood Chapters, has been redesigned to better equip chapters to set fundraising goals and create a monthly action plan for achieving those goals. 100% of our chapter complete both the VCA in the Fall and the Revisit VCA in the Spring.
