DocuSign Envelope ID:6AC3CB92-3CB2-4BCO-A9AB-6ED57765F93C COVID-19 restrictions and the inability to hold volunteer work parties,this may include staff working alone or with stewards to maintain restoration sites. Task Two: Volunteer Recruitment and Retention Volunteer recruitment and retention maintains a Green Everett Partnership presence in the community, as well as increases and enhances the visibility its brand. As a program dependent on volunteers to achieve its goals,the Partnership must have consistent outreach in many forms to access potential partners and keep them active. Task Two Deliverables 1) Forterra will host and promote one Green Everett Day event(anticipated attendance of approximately 100 volunteers).This includes volunteer recruitment and outreach, coordinating sponsorships, organizing forest stewards, and event management. The City will create a poster, collaborate with Forterra and forest stewards on a planting plan, source and deliver materials and tools to be used at the event in a timely manner, and provide support during the event. Depending on the development of COVID-19, steward/staff capacity, and safety,this event may need to be broken up into smaller events or scaled down from the anticipated attendance number. Additional staff may be used if hosting several smaller events. Due to safety concerns,volunteer events will follow state and local orders and be held at the discretion of Forterra and the City of Everett. 2) Forterra will develop or update monthly fliers and outreach materials and distribute as needed. Forterra will promote the Green Everett Partnership at 2 (in-person/virtual) outreach events(e.g., local college/high school career fairs, Sorticulture,National Night Out, and farmer's market, etc.). 3) Forterra will present(remotely/in-person)to at least two community groups or local schools to recruit Forest Stewards and volunteers, with a focus on those near priority parks. 4) Forterra will sustain existing relationships with partner organizations,businesses, schools and community groups by coordinating joint work party/training events (events as part of Task 1.6) and develop at least 2 new partner relationships that results in active participation or promotion of the Green Everett Partnership (e.g. YMCA, Campfire, WSU Everett Campus, schools, and other non-governmental organizations.)
