Another New Project: Effect International

I was recently invited to the Effect International team as their Public Relations Director. Effect International builds, supplies and maintains schools in India and Nepal. One of the most interesting characteristics of Effect that defines it from other similar non-profits is that their schools become self sustainable within five years of opening. That is their goal, of course, to provide a school and then build more.

I attended one of their meetings and was impressed by the diversity of interested people on their team. Most of the group are students, given that it is a student formed and led non-profit organization. I agreed, seeing the promise within the diverse talents of the group.

The first task I did as PR director was to write a press release on the opening of the organization's first school in India. The press release was picked up by the Cache Valley Daily and led to an interview and article with the Utah Statesman. Here are the links to them:
