Recruitment

The goal is to find students with the appropriate backgrounds. Our methods can include:

1. Contacting teachers teaching these programs to see if they can put us in touch with their students. The programs can include:

• community development
• problem-solving (any students who have studied one or more courses for this)
• hire college students directly who have studied these kinds of courses

Sample searches:

• degree community development site:.edu
• certificate community development site:.edu
• program community development site:.edu
• certificate problem solving site:.edu

2. Finding people on forums about problem solving or community development e.g.:

• problem solving forums
  • AoPS Community - Art of Problem Solving
  • General Youth forums

3. Searching for student hiring/internship websites where an ad could be posted

4. Searching for groups of students on social media (facebook)

5. We can also search directly for resumes mentioning the above
