Details

Ronald McDonald House Charities Saskatchewan (RMHC-SK) aims to enhance awareness of its mission to increase occupancy rates. The project focuses on implementing actionable tasks from the organization's occupancy strategy. Students will engage in activities to boost awareness among healthcare providers and build partnerships with regional communities, local businesses, schools, Indigenous communities, and third-party vendors. Key tasks include writing and sending email and letter communications, making follow-up phone calls, and managing the stakeholder database. Students will be provided with a list of existing stakeholders and will also research new organizations and communities to connect with. This project offers an opportunity for students to apply communication and organizational skills in a real-world context, contributing to a meaningful cause.

Deliverables

Students will deliver a comprehensive stakeholder engagement report, detailing communications sent and responses received. They will update and expand the RMHC-SK stakeholder database with new contacts. Additionally, students will provide a summary of potential new partnerships and recommendations for future engagement strategies. These deliverables will support RMHC-SK's mission to increase occupancy and strengthen community ties.
