The Bottom Line
 

While it can be tempting to view the dollars used to secure our services as an expense, especially in an era of tight budgets, we invite you to view them as an investment. You put the money away, and it gives you something back -- a return -- over a period of time.

In many cases, the return is difficult to measure in dollar terms. How much would you invest to have:

Shorter, sweeter and more effective partnership meetings because members have stronger working relationships, better team skills, a coherent strategic plan, and deeper commitment to carry it out?

Fewer youth needing special remedial and support services because their developmental needs are being met in a comprehensive way by all sectors of the community?

Safer streets and neighborhoods in a community because youth and adults know each other better and feel more like stakeholders?

Fewer fights in school because more young people are engaged in helping their peers resolve conflicts non-violently?

Thousands of hours of community service performed by students involved in service learning at the high school?

In the case of the 24 HOUR RELAY CHALLENGE® program, a community's investment yields an average of $12,000 in the first year -- that's a return of 300% in 6 months. They can then invest those dollars in other programs and services that enrich their community.

Each piece of work we do is based on the needs of your group and designed to produce a concrete, tangible return on your investment. Since each set of needs and outcomes is different, we can give you a precise quote once we understand those needs and the scope of services required to accomplish your aims. And, to further reduce any obstacles that might prevent you from benefiting from one of our programs, our fees are negotiable.

So why wait? Take the next step . . .
