Evolving engagement: Finding a home for non-profit public archaeology in western North Carolina
Author(s): Melissa Timo
Year: 2018
Summary
The Exploring Joara Foundation, Inc. (EJF) was conceived as an outreach and fundraising non-profit arm of the Berry Site excavations. Very quickly, the board-led decision was made to expand and diversify outreach efforts. As EJF reaches its ten year anniversary, the organization is reassessing its current and future impact on the surrounding region. This paper will discuss the recent efforts to create archaeology content with measurable outcomes using education non-profit best practices to reach new audiences (and funders) and the assessment of new opportunities to incorporate outreach goals within a larger city- and county- wide outreach initiatives.
