    • Lead a cross-functional team of 3–6 members.
    • Define project goals and deliverables, based on a real organizational challenge or opportunity.
    • Delegate tasks, manage timelines, and facilitate team collaboration.
    • Conduct weekly check-ins and a final presentation to stakeholders from the SayPro Development Strategic Partnerships Office.
