  4. Making S.M.A.R.T. Goals • Specific • Measureable • Attainable • Realistic • Timely • Tangible

  5. Specific • *Who:      Who is involved? *What:     What do I want to accomplish? *Where:    Identify a location. *When:     Establish a time frame. *Which:    Identify requirements &constraints. *Why:      Specific reasons, purpose or benefits of accomplishing the goal.

  6. Measureable • Establish concrete criteria for measuring progress toward the attainment of each goal you set. When you measure your progress, you stay on track, reach your target dates, and experience the exhilaration of achievement that spurs you on to continued effort required to reach your goal. • To determine if your goal is measurable, ask questions such as......How much? How many? How will I know when it is accomplished?

  7. Attainable • When you identify goals that are most important to you, you begin to figure out ways you can make them come true. You develop the attitudes, abilities, skills, and financial capacity to reach them. You begin seeing previously overlooked opportunities to bring yourself closer to the achievement of your goals.

  8. Realistic • Your goal is probably realistic if you truly believe that it can be accomplished. Additional ways to know if your goal is realistic is to determine if you have accomplished anything similar in the past or ask yourself what conditions would have to exist to accomplish this goal.

  9. Timely • A goal should be grounded within a time frame. With no time frame tied to it there's no sense of urgency.

  10. Tangible • A goal is tangible when you can experience it with one of the senses, that is, taste, touch, smell, sight or hearing. When your goal is tangible you have a better chance of making it specific and measurable and thus attainable.

  11. Every Project Needs:

  12. Is Your Project Sustainable? • This means it can survive to completion, even if you’re not there to carry on the work. • Projects are sustainable if you have: • Strong messaging • SMART Goals, including a Timeline • Empowered Volunteer Leaders/a “real” team • Clear Organization • Money, Materials, & Partnerships (Lay of the Land, Fundraising, etc.) • Effective Publicity

  13. How Do You Achieve Goals? • Recruit & Empower Volunteer Leaders • Organize Your Information & Delegate Tasks • Evaluate Lay of the Land Resources • Publicize Your Project

  14. Recruiting Volunteers • Where are you recruiting? • Do you have clear positions people can plug into for your project? • Random tasks = unsustainable • How will you empower them?

  15. Organization • How are you keeping track of information? • Can other people access that information? • Are your tasks being delegated? • How are you managing donors, volunteers, and partners?

  16. Evaluate Lay of the Land • Who are your partners? • What materials do you need? • What facilities are available to you? • Where can you get funding? • Resources!

  17. Publicize your project! • What media outlets are you working with? • CAT • Newspapers/Free Weekly • Radio Stations • Flyers/posters • Chalking • Notifying partner organizations • Newsletter • Electronic mediums: blogs, facebook, LinkedIn, etc.

  18. How can you create a Green Job? • Will your project result in a demand for the work you’re doing? Which kinds of work? • Ex: “Garden Educator” • Why would the community want to invest in your project? • What type of value could be applied? • Ex: Local currency, time dollars, money, etc.

  19. What kinds of Tasks?

  20. Timeline • Work backwards! • Set a deadline for when you want to accomplish each goal. • This doesn’t have to be the end of SOS • Your project is sustainable; it can go on and on, energizer-bunny style!
