Well, before we tear down our City Year room, I thought I'd capture it. I do have to say that I'm pretty proud of it, as I lead our team to build it to be both functional and inspiring. As Martha Stewart said, "life is too complicated not to be orderly." (Yup, just quoted her.)
Before:
 |
The best photo I have. A dreary windowless room with 2 tables, computers, a whiteboard and couch,
a pile of things that don't belong to use, and an enormous pile of unorganized boxes (out of view). |
After:
 |
| The best whole-room photo I have. Notice the work space table against the wall and the tech info above the computers. |
 |
The Master of All Things. Tasks to accomplish along the top, check yourself off when you're done. Usually a
running list of 'team tasks' as well, random info, and who is heading current 'leadership opportunities.' |
 |
STORAGE! You have no idea how much work I put into getting us a cabinet.
It's (usually) more organized than this, thanks to the labels I made. |
 |
| Progress monitoring - how many donations have we in-kinded so far? (managed by a corps member) |
 |
| The appreciation board :-) Cards, emails, and notes from anyone to the team are posted here. |
 |
| The Calendar, which rules our life. Color-coded (obviously) and a record of hours along the side. |
 |
A running list of inspiring quotes from throughout the year :-)
Notice the red class schedule and monthly 'perfect punctuality awards' in the background. |
 |
| Everyone has their own desk (gasp!) and can post up their own things about their spot. |
 |
| First circle boot prints |
 |
| The appreciation fridge, thanks to one of my corps members. Want to thank someone? Post it up! |
 |
Yes. Somewhat effective.
Above the less effective bulletin board, and highly effective supply table. |
 |
Mission statements and meeting norms.
Notice they're on our fancy bookshelf, that can hold books AND binders! |
