As College Goal Sunday is a volunteer program, we understand that both time and assistance is needed in both the planning and implementation phases. This is why staff are designated to work with states in becoming a successful College Goal Sunday state.

Step-by-step assistance will be given to states as they plan their first College Goal Sunday and also beyond the three-year grant period in the following areas:

• Initial inquiries
• Timeline
• Grant and budget development
• Logo usage
• Convening a task force or steering committee
• Developing partnerships and collaborations
• Identifying and contacting local funders
• Outreach strategies to families
• Role responsibilities for state-wide coordinator and state-wide site coordinators
• Recruiting volunteers
• Contracting with a local PR firm
• Determining site needs, i.e. materials, t-shirts, volunteers
• Evaluation and report requirements
• Contact information with other College Goal Sunday states
• Web site support
• Troubleshooting
