I am beyond honored to have been chosen to be a part of Accenture's Pro Bono team in the Charlotte office where a team of 3 others and I get the opportunity to lead and manage 6 projects working with nonprofit organizations in the city of Charlotte, NC. Pro Bono projects exist because of local leadership's emphasis on driving relationships with Charlotte nonprofits and identifying areas where Accenture can support or partner with them. Once Accenture leadership defines the scope of work Accenture will do, they pass along the day-to-day project to consultants and senior analysts to drive deliverables and interact with the client. Shani Reel and I just concluded our work with our first client, the Catholic Charities Diocese of Charlotte (CCDOC) where we led a kickoff with the client, developed the project timeline, and held workshops all for Shani and I to analyze how we can help in the most effective way possible with a short timeline of 8 weeks. Our main work for CCDOC was building User Guides for CCDOC to distribute to refugees moving to Charlotte with the purpose of enabling them to be self-reliant in Charlotte within 30-90 days. Shani and I had the opportunity to not only meet with individuals across the nonprofit, but with the families they serve as well. All of this informed our efforts to provide relevant information on education, transportation, financial literacy, and healthcare. In the end, we made 29 pages of impactful information useful to the families and have enabled language translation options as well.
The experienced working with the CCDOC was incredibly impactful and meaningful to everyone involved. Shani and I are SO thrilled to be extended onto 2 more Pro Bono projects together #dynamicduo #powerteam!! Thank you to Keith Brammer for thinking of me for this team, and Elizabeth Moreno, Tyler Degenhardt, Emily K. Sheldon, and Danish Jahangir for supporting us throughout this amazing project!
