Regional Director Weekly Tracker 2.

Welcome to the RD 2.0 Tracker! Be sure to read the instructions below, and please
reach out if you have any questions. You are joined in this position by previous Regional
Directors, Political Affairs Interns, and Nonprofit Leadership Interns.

In the RD 2.0 role, you are free to structure the next 12 weeks as you wish. Provided for
your engagement is the Point Chart. It serves as your starting point. At a minimum, in
this position, you are required to complete 50 points from the Point Chart weekly. If you
choose, you can complete only the tracker’s basics and its required points each week.
This is sufficient work and will be regarded as such.
However, feel free to expand! This role is for you to grow and learn on your own-- it is
whatever you want it to be. We encourage you to move beyond the Point Chart and
expound on the things that you enjoyed in your previous position. Or maybe you could
work on perfecting some tasks that were difficult for you or propose a self-guided project
to work on instead.
Aside from the aforementioned, you can also do the following:
Administrative Tasks
Writing, Editing, and/or Publishing
Work on a City Council or School Board Project
Grant Writing
Be sure to work in conjunction with the Volunteer Team Staff, and let us know what you
decide to do. We will help you navigate this role, and we will work to keep you on track,
approving or not, your ideas. Your week 2 check-in meeting is a great time to talk about
your plans. You can always reach out to volunteerteam@borgenproject.org. Feel free to
schedule a check-in meeting with us at any time.

Dear _______,

My name is _______ and I am back working for The Borgen

Project! You are receiving this email because you were kind
enough to help me reach my goal of procuring adequate funding
for furthering the goal of fighting global poverty.

Over the course of my internship, we raised over ____ dollars,

and mobilized at least ___ members of the community in calling
and emailing their Congressional leaders in support of poverty
reduction advocacy. Now, I am back as a Regional Director for
The Borgen Project in the ___ area. I will be conducting a more
self-driven anti-poverty advocacy and will hopefully produce
similarly meaningful results as I did during my internship! If you
would like to continue to receive updates about my work, please
let me know. For now, I encourage you to look at The Borgen
Project’s Act Now page to see what we are currently supporting
and mobilizing people to get involved in.

If you have any questions about the organization or my work,

please email me at _______.

Thank you for your time and consideration!

All the best,
