· organize volunteers to harvest each tree as it ripens and ensure that the fruit is delivered to organizations that can use it
· expand on our list of organizations that can use fruit by contacting neighborhood organizations that offer food to needy people and maintaining a list of such organizations
· document results including when each tree is harvested, the quality of the fruit that is harvested, the volume harvested and where the fruit is donated
· sell a portion of the fruit to local area restaurants
· organize workshops about pruning, thinning, pest prevention and canning
· work with consultant to help provide data for business plan
· work with consultant to develop more efficient ways to manage the fruit harvest
· submit final report summarizing the harvest
· handle paperwork required by the city
Qualifications:
· Experience managing volunteers
· Project management experience
· Community organization experience
· Demonstrated organizational skills
· Familiarity with XCEL and Word; ability to use Internet-based project management tools
