Service Credits Program
During this economic downturn, Ramage Technologies would like do their part in helping the educational system through these difficult times. For the next two years, your university may use the thinktank at a greatly reduced price. In lieu of 75% of the annual thinktank fee, each university must participate in our Service Credit Program.
The Service Credit Program is a volunteer program, where your staff and/or students volunteer hours (service credits) with non-profit organizations in your local area.
After the two year contract expires, you may choose to continue using the thinktank at an economically-viable price (price will depending on the economy at that point).
Win-Win-Win
It simply saves you time. In the last four years, we have seen the thinktank dramatically decrease the number of hours spent managing the administrative portions of programming.
Programs can be created to meet both your university and Service Credit requirements. Create programs for your residents to volunteer in their local community. Weekly mentor sessions. Big brother/sister outtings. Monthly group projects.
- You save time and money.
- Your university students learn the value of service.
- Your community benefits.
It's a triple win.
Why are we offering this program?
Purely personal reasons. My name is Yvonne Ramage, and I'm the CEO of Ramage Technologies. Earlier in my life, I worked as an experiential education instructor, specializing in outdoor sports. Most of my courses were taught with Outward Bound, and involved taking 10 strangers into the wilderness to learn how to serve (each other, our environment, ourselves). I learned a lot from teaching those courses. And in light of our new world challenges, I believe service will pave the way to a better future for everyone.
Personal Committment: Our company committment is to serve to both our community and environment. We pride ourselves on being a "green friendly" company, creating business solutions that reduce negative environmental impact (reduce paper, energy efficient, etc).
It is becoming increasingly clear, we must re-invest in the our future leaders, to help our country move out of the reliance on financial institutions. We must gain back this country's "leading edge". And the best way to do this is investment of our time and energy, giving directly to the people. It is the people that make this country great. It is the people that will make a difference.
Right now, people need help. In asking ourselves what we had to give, we came up with this program. We hope the idea of service, as well as the service itself, will trickle down to those that need it most.
