Please share this message and link with any local non-profits you may know that can benefit from these services!
Hello, from Mike Starkey and Ethan Wilde, instructors in the Digital Media and Web Development program at Santa Rosa Junior College. We teach a course where students work with local non-profits in Sonoma County with website and media services, to remodel an existing web site, create a new site, add features, film/record/edit video and audio production projects for your non-profit.
We are contacting you because we are looking for local non-profits to work with now through mid-May, for the Spring, 2018 semester. Class started last week, January 18th, which means we need to complete our client list.
If you are interested in working with us, using the link below, please choose your project type and complete the online form at your earliest convenience,
by Wednesday January 31, 2018 at 5pm
.
We will then follow up with our availability and semester schedule for the projects:
The process of working with the JC students has several steps, and depends on the scale of your project. Milestones and deadlines for all jobs will be determined based on the size of the project. For example, filming and editing a promotional video or event might happen over a period of one month, and a website project will likely take the entire semester.
For projects that span the entire semester, the average client spends about 10 hours meeting with students, making decisions and proofing the project. Again this will be scaled down on an individual basis, based on the size of a smaller project. Clients are required to meet with students about 5 times during the process. The meetings can go as long as 2 hours, but are often closer to one hour. The initial meeting is held face to face, additional meetings may be held using telephone, Skype or some other online resource.
In addition we estimate you may need to spend up to 20 hours compiling the project content. Even if you already have an existing Website and/or video, you will need to review all your content and decide if the information needs to be updated, deleted or rearranged.
The total time commitment can easily be 30-40+ hours (for a full semester project) from February-May. The busiest time for our clients is February-March, as the teams work to gather all content and turn the proposals into signed agreements for services. The projects will be presented to all clients and delivered on
May24th at 6pm.
We ask that you mark this date and time on your calendar. It's very important to us that we all share the completion of these projects together, with you the clients.
Although there is no charge for the project, there is an expectation that you will have the time and patience to work with our students, and provide us with the content and feedback we need, as agreed to.
We have openings for between 8-12 projects. We will handle requests on a first come, first served basis, that match our current student teams and their skill sets. We will also add a few projects to our alternate list, in case any openings are available throughout the semester.
Thank you for your interest in working with the SRJC Projects Class. Please give us a call or send an email if you have any questions. We look forward to working with you!
