FAQ's
What is the difference between a project and a task?
A project is a significant initiative that typically involves multiple tasks and has a defined goal or objective. It is a complex undertaking that requires planning, coordination, and management to achieve a specific outcome. An example of a project would be Park Beautification.
A task is a single unit of work that needs to be completed within a project. It is a specific action or activity that an individual or a team can complete. Tasks are often smaller in scope and can be conducted independently or as part of a larger project. An example of a task would be planting flowers in a park garden.
Do I have to commit to cleaning during the entirety of the event?
Volunteers are asked to check in at the designated time to participate in the kickoff. During the kickoff, volunteers will receive a debrief of the event, covering locations, safety measures, and other important information. For safety purposes, it is highly recommended that volunteers stay present for the entirety of the event. However, if a participant needs to leave early, the participant or the participant's parent or guardian must inform the project leader. Informing the project leader is to ensure an accurate record of hours completed and the roster.
