An Outline of the Workbook

You, The Reader

We come now to you, the reader, and how your interests may best be met by reading parts of the workbook. Here are some suggestions:

  • If you have an idea of starting a new program, start with Chapter 1 and move your way through to Chapter 4
  • If you are looking for advice on community needs assessments, read Chapter 3
  • If you are wondering about the unique challenges of a Big Brothers Big Sisters agency taking on a Boys and Girls Club, or vice versa, start in with Chapter 4
  • If you are concerned about the deeper issues of program sustainability, either for a new program or an existing one, start with Chapter 5 and move onto Chapter 6
  • If you are concerned about broader organizational sustainability issues, jump to Chapter 7
  • If you are looking for information and advice about deep partnering and mergers, start with Chapter 8 and move onto Chapter 9.

Where possible, we have cross-referenced material in one chapter that is useful in another chapter. Appendices are referenced in footnotes throughout.

Good luck. We hope that you find the materials of interest and assistance.
