Readings for Module 3
Readings for Module 3
In this module, you will consider readings, assignments and learning activities for all previous modules as you provide peer review, revise your logic model and develop your garden program sustainability plan.
1. Read through the sections listed below, found at "Grow Your Program: Planning and Organizing" on the following Cornell Garden-Based Learning web pages. There is a youth slant to this material. If your program will focus on adults and families do not fret that this does not apply. It applies to our engagement of all people whether they are children, youth, families or adults.
2. Browse these two publications (if they pertain to your program):
3. Bookmark the “Press Packet” for future use, at “Grow Your Program: A Press Packet to Help You Spread the Word” at
http://blogs.cornell.edu/garden/grow-your-program/press-packet/
4. Look at the “Volunteer Management” PowerPoint Presentation and “Fundraising Tips” found in the readings section in the module.
5. You are not expected to read all that is listed below, but do scan them and read at least two articles and/or online resources as they relate to your program needs.
