Inner City Work Study, University of Winnipeg- ArtsJunktion Project

The project that I would be embarking upon would be to audit their programming and recycling efforts in an attempt to better direct where they place their focus and energies. I will begin their research by auditing and analyzing the effectiveness of our current practices and researching how and where to divert materials that the organization does not accept and how to market/explain to the public what we accept, what we do not accept, and where folks can send the materials that we do not accept. Next I would evaluate the in-kind and donation/sponsorship relationships that ArtsJunktion has in place in an attempt to strengthen these relationships and further the productivity of the collaboration. The research will then expand into helping to plan programming and presenting their web presence to help promote creative reuse and sustainable practices. The process of coalition building through the creation and development of in-kind relationships and sponsorship and donation opportunities with local businesses and other charitable organizations will be the main contribution that I hope to give to the partner organization and through this process help the city that I love and live in.
