True Roots carried out a community assessment for the school, meeting and surveying school students, staff, parents and community members. The donor organization wanted to better understand beneficiary and stakeholder:

  • Motivations, expectations, and concerns
  • Hopes and dreams related to their participation
  • Leadership, communication, and teamwork styles

True Roots also uncovered how project impact was being measured by the school, and identified project sustainability components and opportunities.

Following the assessment, True Roots developed a work plan to strengthen and expand the school and professional job training activities for students.
