The Junior League of New Orleans defines many of its community services as either projects or activities depending on the undertaking's scope and cost. All must be compatible with and support Junior League's vision, mission and goals.
A project must include a volunteer component to allow the utilization, training and development of volunteers, address a community need within the focus area, and the Junior League of New Orleans must have a position of responsibility in administration and program development. Furthermore, the project must have a high impact in the community. Specifically:
- People's lives will change as a result of the program and the project has an evaluation process that supports results.
- The underlying causes of the community need are addressed.
- Ability to assess the number of people experiencing the change versus the intensity of that change.
- Levels of change include knowledge, skills, attitudes, behavior, condition and status.
In addition, other requirements include a defined, viable plan for sustainability and an organizational infrastructure in place and capable of supporting project operations.
