Project Charter: Preparing for further education
Background
This project, creating a program to help prepare older children in Mexico for further education, exists to provide the children with the foundation and information they require to make decisions about their future education themselves.
Goals
· Create an informational lesson/database for educational opportunities and what is required to achieve them.
· Meet with educators in Mexico to relay our information for scholarships to show 10-13 year old students in Mexico how to apply for international scholarships.
Scope
This will be a continuous program that we will revisit the building and program each year for two weeks. During the first two weeks that we go in and teach the group of students as well as attracting community leaders that will continue motivating the youth to strive for a global education.
Key Stakeholders
Client | Schools in Mexico that would allow the program to reach their students |
Sponsor | Donor of the original $10,000, scholarship organizations |
Project manager | Christina Yard Emanis: is a graphic designer of thirty years and a business student at ASU seeking a degree in organizational leadership. I would like to see us do something that serves the underclass in an impoverished community abroad. We have to go abroad in our course instruction. |

Constraints, Assumptions, Risks and Dependencies
Constraints | -We will be foreigners and therefore, will not have the liberty to go any where we choose. We will have to have passports and work visas. -We all have other responsibilities throughout the weeks, and these responsibilities (such as work, children, family in general) will likely get in the way of team productivity from time to time. -We need to be respectful of their culture and its expectations and norms. This may mean that we cannot behave in certain manners that we might normally. |
Assumptions | -There are communities that want outside help. There are a lot of cultures that do not trust outsiders and Americans. -Some people may be very prideful and not want the assistance. There will always be some though that will welcome our assistance with open arms. |
Risks and Dependencies | -There is risk of imprisonment, confiscation of our property and the capital we want to invest in the people. Bad news coverage if we make a mistake or fail. -The laws are very different in this country and not always consistent. We must make sure that we do not do anything that could result in fines, confiscations, or jail time. - Need to make sure our service is repeatable and self managing to carry on after we have exhausted our time. - Outside contributors |
Team's Desired Level of Mastery in the Material: Expert
- We are prepared to sacrifice our extra time throughout the weeks during this course to study more heavily on the course material.
