PROJECT PLAN(see:A*NCCC Project Form,page S)
1.PROJECT MISSION AND OBJECTIVES
The overall project mission is the broadest, least specific statement of what a project
hopes to accomplish.Mission statements should be viewed as expressions of hope and not
necessarily definitions of outcomes to be achieved. "The project will address a critical national
need by building low-income housing, upgrading/rehabilitating existing housing; teach Corps
Members concrete skills in professional trades; and involve the community in design and
construction."It is then hoped that the project sponsor will provide a written context for the
project, how it came to be proposed,the community and environmental context,how the need
developed and when it was recognized.
2. TASKS AND METHODS
This question asks for the process and methods by which you will address the need and
move towards the proposed project impact, Corps Member development, and community
fulfillment.
3.ACCOMPLISHMENTS
In addition to describing the service and product of a project, we need you to determine
Quaatlaaltvf outcome objectives. This is easier in some cases than in others. Nevertheless,
measurable effects on direct project impacts, Corps Member development and community
fulfillment should be identified for every project. We can measure a project's impact by defining
measurable degrees of success before the project begins.
Therefore, we ask for a statement about what will change and how the change will be
demonstrated. We are interested in objectives which focus on the end products of a project. For an
outcome objective to be useful, it must be specific enough to allow us to determine what, if any,
change occurred. Therefore, direct and demonstrable results mean that each outcome objective
should include: (1) a means of measuring the quality of the result, (2) a standard of success or
quality the project hopes to meet,and(3) the number of service-recipients.
Project Impacts
