How do we match projects to advisors?
| Community submits an application. | Summaries of approved applications are shared via email with the advisor network. | Advisors select the project(s) they wish to work on. | Upon a successful match, advisors meet with the community organization, defining project expectations and timelines. | Upon completion of the project advisors and community clients complete a short survey evaluating their experience working together. |
