Hi Victor,

I just looked at the spreadsheet again. I think I misunderstood the question about how many students are served by the peer to peer educator program.

We have 17 student farmers. They host farm hours and classes at the farm, where we see 1000 students annually.

I originally put 1000 students for the number of students served, but I think it is supposed to be 17, since that is the actual number of student farmers. I corrected it on the spreadsheet.

Thank you,
Jen

Hi Victor,

Student farmers work during the school year, which is roughly 32 weeks per year.
Their hours range from 3 hrs a week to 20 hrs a week. I would feel comfortable estimating 6hrs a week on average.

I do not know of employee programs at Bucknell that are peer to peer educators teaching sustainability.

Thank you,
Jen

Estimations for Program # 2

At a minimum each student volunteer 1 hour a week for 12 weeks in a semester for a total of 864 hours.
