IT Set Up
About our Organization:
The Alliance for Equity in Montessori Education (AEME) is a small, young nonprofit that currently operates one tuition-free full-day Montessori PreK program embedded within a neighborhood public school in the Reynolds School District. AEME is building infrastructure to support increasing the number of schools where we can co-locate our program and offer high quality tuition-free early childhood Montessori education to low-income families. We center anti-racism within our work and are committed to offering education and parent services in the home languages of our families.
Project Description:
AEME has never had an IT staff or even computers which are owned by our organization. We have an IT pre-plan in place and have purchased agency hardware. We are seeking an IT professional to initiate our plan, lead and provide assistance to set up our computers, and provide virtual training so we can have a solid technical foundation in place and focus on providing services.
Key Deliverables:
-
Propose what edition of Google Workspace for Nonprofits should be used.
-
Propose whether AEME should converge onto the included Google apps for email, calendar, docs, video conferencing, chat, collaboration, etc. (vs. keeping Zoom and other redundant apps). If so, identify what existing applications should be dropped.
-
Propose the data privacy and security practices that need to be followed by employees and the related administrative controls that AEME’s IT resource will need to manage.
-
Propose the most intuitive way to organize and protect content that will be stored on shared drives for employees, board members, external partners and the general public.
-
Help set up, test, and educate employees on all of the above to ensure it is working.
-
e.g. set up and test the new integrated virtual meeting and chat system
-
e.g. provide a written easy-to-follow step-by-step guide (or a video guide) and virtual training to the staff with the computers
-
-
Advise on what to change/stop with respect to apps, social media, website & electronic newsletter.
-
Identify next steps and priorities including needed ongoing services.
-
Propose the scope and hours needed and recommendations on who to hire.
