Scope & Deliverables

Camp Ramah in Northern California is seeking consultants with distinct expertise to advise in the following capacities:

  1. Reviewing and providing constructive feedback on our current HR protocols.
  2. Reviewing and providing constructive feedback on our financial systems and protocols.
  3. Helping us explore and determine the legal considerations around summer camp state licensing and compliance requirements.

Consultants will work with the Ramah staff (Executive Director and/or Business Manager) in each of their respective domains of expertise. This may involve a team approach with instances involving multiple consultants, or simply one on one conversation/advising sessions. Consulting will primarily be done remotely to help ensure the best use of time for all parties involved with the opportunity to meet face-to-face throughout the consulting period depending on the availability of the consultants and Ramah staff.

Project Results

These consultants will help to ensure our organization remains sustainably managed so that we can continue to provide safe, fun, and high-quality programming for many summers to come.
