SJCLT has the good fortune to be asked to develop or participate in many worthy projects and programs. We use a decision filter to evaluate which projects or programs should be developed or pursued. Elements of the filter include:

1. Does the project/program fit with our mission?

2. Does someone else already provide the service more efficiently/effectively than we could?

3. Do we have/can we get the capacity to successfully deliver the program/project?

4. Do we have/can we efficiently get the necessary skills & knowledge?

5. Are partners available to fill roles that we can't?

6. Does the program/project generate revenue or funding to support costs & contribute to SJCLT sustainability?

7. Does the community support or oppose the project/program--does it fill a critical gap for the community?

8. Does the program/project enhance SJCLT name/visibility?
