CHAPTERS STARTING AN EWB-USA PROJECT
EWB-USA has a process for starting projects. First, only established chapters (this means the chapter has a signed chapter agreement with EWB-USA) can work on an EWB-USA project. If you are an individual or new to EWB-USA, then it is recommended that you take a look at the webpage "Joining a Project" first. If you are interested in starting a chapter, please contact the appropriate EWB-USA Chapter Relations Manager.
Chapters that want to start an EWB-USA Project
(Note: Chapters should read section 5 of the EWB-USA soucebook BEFORE starting on a project)
1) Chapter Submits a Project: Chapters can develop their own projects to EWB-USA. For more information on this process see New Project Submission.
2) Open Projects Adoption: These are projects that were submitted by an NGO or community and have already been reviewed and approved as EWB-USA projects. If a project interests your chapter after reviewing the open project applications and reviews, fill out a 502 - Chapter Application and submit it to the EWB-USA Project Manager by the due date specified on the open project page.
3) Research Projects: EWB-USA has a list of potential Research Projects for members of chapters to work on. This list is only meant to give members ideas of current needs in the developing world and we do not offer any support on these projects.
4) Partnering Projects: Endeavors where an EWB-USA chapter is doing something in partnership with another entity such as Habitat for Humanity. The 500 - Partnering Projects Information Form is to be completed for these volunteer projects so that we can report these efforts to our funders as well as determine in what projects our chapters are participating.
The EWB-USA Project Manager works in the EWB-USA office to support the work of the TAC, pre-screens chapter & project applications forms, and prepares materials for TAC meetings. Contact Projects for assistance with acquiring a project.
