Evergreen -Developing a Connection with Citizens
★ We had given everyone a role of a coordinator○ There weren’t many W.A’s there ○ wanted more kids to have sessions ○ Didn’t want to limit them by the amount
of staff○ This inadvertently took away from the
benefits that one-on-one sessions offer ★ To adjust we have taken the session setup
from BGCW to continue to develop a connection ○ WA Pods○ Coordinator with hangouts
