Every great experience starts with thoughtful planning. You'll have many opportunities to practice and receive feedback on your planning. Plus, you'll learn how to adapt best laid plans when things don't go... well, as planned!

Manage Budgets & Inventory

Budgets are a reflection of organizational values. Good stewardship includes financial stewardship. You'll gain experience being thoughtful of how you spend money, track your budget, and the overall impact on the organization.
