Proposed project steps with time estimates

A zoom meeting between Anna and a potential business mentor would help to establish the need and the vision.
Weekly mentoring sessions would provide the clear steps to implement a clear business plan to encourage success for Waste Free Wanda.

This role is open as of now, with an optimal start day the week following Waitangi Weekend.

What We Have In Place

Waste Free Wanda is a one-woman environmental musical created by award-winning singer/songwriter Anna van Riel.
Anna is also the founder of non-profit community group Plastic Free Wanaka, who offer waste-free solutions to the Central Otago district.

The Waste Free Wanda show was launched in February of 2020, and has already reached 52 schools and over 8,000 children. The goal of the project is to empower children to be environmental superheroes in their own backyard, by inspiring friends and family with simple swaps that make a big difference.
Through audience participation, music, theatre and humour, this super Kiwi, super 80's show is proving to be a hit with the kids.

The Waste Free Wanda show has received funding 8 times since her creation which signifies the need for this service to NZ children.
The project has so-far accumulated creative assets which include animations, a high-quality pitch video, a script, lyric videos for learning and much more.

At this time Anna is managing the project alone, as she grows potential for a supportive team.
With the multitude of roles, including applying for funding to deliver the show to booking tours, performing and managing social media marketing, Anna is finding her energies are being watered down in order to accomplished each facet of this new service.

With the support of a creative business mentor, there is potential for Waste Free Wanda to be a long-term, sustainable institution for NZ tamariki, schools and communities.

If this sounds like a project you are excited to sink your teeth into Anna would love ot hear form you.
