Mission And Vision Statement Development

We are searching for a volunteer who can lead our development of a new and improved mission/vision statement that will communicate our purpose and vision to a variety of stakeholders. We also need help developing our organizational by-laws, as we cannot afford legal assistance. Our ideal volunteer partner will be a creative communicator who is ready to dive into working with our team!

We will work together to complete the project within an agreed amount of time. The first meeting will be an opportunity for our team to provide you with a briefing on our current core stakeholders and goals as an organization. We will provide the volunteer with our existing mission/value statement and by-laws to orient the volunteer to discuss our current vision and the way we want to deliver on it through our programs. In our next meetings, the volunteer should present a first draft. We will provide feedback. We may work asynchronously for continued feedback, and in our final meeting together, the volunteer will deliver the final, copy-edited versions.

Poughkeepsie Rising is a gem of the Hudson Valley going through growing pains. With all the conventions and workshops, we realized that we were not positioned as well as we should've been. Instead of crying about it, we're moving forward to make things happen as effeciently as possible.

We will provide the volunteer with our existing mission, vision, or value statement plus other relevant background materials along with our by-laws. Our organization has clearly defined stakeholders and will provide that information to our volunteer partner. We have a designated member of our team available to work with the volunteer on this project.
