Taylor, Kelsey and I have decided to combine the idea of establishing a community center for the youth that all ages have the opportunity of using + forming a pop-up. Because we will have a large group, we wanted to tackle a large problem which will include; promoting training programs, youth activities, etc...
I found a few different plans for establishing a new community center:
- "Can-do" attitude
- Business Plan
- Identify those in community that support the goal
- Establish relationships with officials in the local government
- Create a network. Contact existing non-profits that serve multiple socioeconomic purposes (jobs, health, housing, etc.) in community
- Secure private sector sources of funding (federal, state and private patrons/corporations)
- Form a board of directors
- Sell the purpose of the mission
- Choose a great facility (house?)
- Find volunteers
- Establish hours + staff + restrictions
- Activities (Ex/ training programs, community service)
- Insurance
- Support Letters
- Apply for non-profit status
- Develop a mission statement
- Set long-term goals
- Establish structure and membership criteria
- Adopt by-laws
- Produce and distribute information
- Get initial contributions
- Set fund-raising strategies
- Plan project campaigns, targeted solicitations, and mail campaigns
Possible Activities:
Training programs
Youth activities
Coffeeshop
