Do we want to apply for this?

<p>For the Spring 2009 semester (starts January 20), I will be teaching a public relations writing class at Bentley University in Waltham, MA as an Adjunct Instructor. This is my fifth year at Bentley.<br>
<br>
I add a "service learning" component to the course. As a final project, teams of students will be developing public relations a PR plan and some materials for small nonprofit organizations. I am currently seeking nonprofits in the Waltham area.<br>
<br>
In many ways, the students serve as consultants to the nonprofit. They're not regular volunteers for the organization - this is not free help passing out fliers or making phone calls.<br>
<br>
Here are a few guidelines and qualifications for interested organizations:<br>
<br>
1. Legal U.S. nonprofit registration/designation is a requirement (501C3 is preferred).<br>
<br>
2. Benefits delivered/felt on a local level is a big plus, but not an absolute requirement. Students like to help out close to home.<br>
<br>
3. Grass roots/small organizations are preferred. One that has already "been discovered" by the media, received much coverage, or is already working with an ad agency or PR firm is not a great fit.<br>
<br>
4. No religious/faith-based or political affiliation.<br>
<br>
5. Many students don't have their own transportation, and work part-time, so the organization should be located near Bentley, and have an actual office. Travel/commute time is often a major issue - anything more than 15 minutes from campus is a turnoff, unless you're willing to come to campus to meet with the students instead.<br>
<br>
6. A primary contact from the organization - preferably an officer - must be able to be part of a nonprofit panel in a late January or early February class session as part of the selection process.<br>
<br>
7. The contact must be available to students a few times during the semester, and willing to participate in one class session for a formal presentation at the end of the semester (late April/early May). The nonprofit must also be willing to make a commitment to fast response time to student/team e-mails (within two business days). Students often don't keep traditional business hours. The ability to meet or communicate outside of 9-5, Monday thru Friday is a plus.<br>
<br>
If interested, please contact me at your earliest convenience.<br>
