Matrix Reloaded

Just completed the results matrix for the program. I wanted to revise the one completed previously to reflect program objectives as opposed to organizational objectives.

As the goal of the program is to provide increased opportunities for underrepresented youth to engage in international education through community service, the objectives are as follows:

I just really wanted to add
 some of Jada's Matrix spice. 

1. Gain International Exposure
2. Increase skills toward Global Leadership 
3. Participate in Cultural Immersion
4. Gain or Enhance a perspective of African culture and history
5. Improve Travel Readiness and Preparedness

We want the students to be able to gain international exposure and cross cultural understanding while increasing skills toward both personal and professional development. The program hopes to assists students through these objectives.

It is so exciting. 

From the objectives I am working with Ernest to enhance the list of activities that will help accomplish the objectives in a way that is both student oriented and culturally relevant to the context of Kenya. 

It is a truly fun venture. 

The new matrix also includes outcomes and outputs, all of which will be very useful in marketing to donors and parents. I can see a nice diagram that will highlight the objectives, sample the activities and other matrix components in a fun way that will ensure the vitality of the program and truly get people interested.

Its great!

Nothing can stop us now!
