Project Goals
Estimated Budget
Use this space to describe the issue and how it affects your local school/community/environment. Discuss the following:
Scope (how many people are affected, what has been done before to mitigate the issue, etc.)
Intensity (how severe is the issue, provide stats/data if available, etc.)
Duration (how long has this been occurring, brief historical description, has the issue grown in the recent past, etc.)
Resources (what does this problem “cost” the community and those affected? What resources have already been used to address the issue? Think time, finances, staff labor, etc.)
The goals of your team’s project should go here. Remember that goals are general guidelines that explain what you want to achieve in your community. They are usually long-term and represent global visions such as “ensure good quality drinking water in Butler county.”
