What measurable impact will this project have on your organization and its community? Ex: United Way Day of Caring Volunteers painted and set up the new computer lab at our organization. Our population at "We Help Mission" is 90% unemployed and looking for work but has no access to internet or resume writing assistance. This computer lab will be open from M-F 12-7 and will be available for the community to use free of charge to look for employment, write and print resumes, and have zoom interviews. Data collected in 3 months after the project was complete indicated 27 people used the computer lab and 12 found employment.
