Project Planning and Design
Filed Under: 4. Design projects based on local needs and input as well as volunteer sustainability
  • Is a representative from the partner organization and/ or community involved in all steps of the volunteer project planning and implementation?
  • Is the community directly contributing to the project in any way? Did beneficiaries have to earn these contributions in some way?
  • Does the short-term project contribute to the long-term goals and needs of the organization and community?
  • Are volunteer projects adaptable? i.e.: If project timelines or community needs change, can the volunteer project be altered to meet the new demands?
  • Are projects adaptable to changing tourism trends? i.e.: Might the project discontinue if tourism declines in that area?
