Class #9 Post

November 14th 2017 We did a lot of cool and fun things in class today. We started off the class by doing an icebreaker exercise where one had to pick a couple of words and an image to describe yourself. This was difficult but very interesting to see what people chose to describe themselves. Everyone then got some marketing and development brochures from various nonprofits in order to compare them. We were able to see what the brochures did well and what we didn’t like. We then describe the differences between marketing and development. After, we split up into our mock nonprofits groups and worked on our marketing and development for our groups. We had to write elevator pitches for our mock nonprofits and then present them in front of the class. This was really educational and fun to do. It made us be able to describe our mock nonprofit and its goals in a conversation which is similar to what happens in real world. You see someone at a coffee shop and only had two minutes to tell them about the nonprofit you are working at and get them interested in the nonprofit and its mission. Overall, todays class was a lot of fun and really educational as well
