Project Title: Expanding Generation Alive Action Teams for Community Impact
Project Description:

Generation Alive Action Teams are groups of 15-20 students at a local school who work together to learn about community needs, the meaning of compassion, basic fundraising, and how to mobilize others around a cause. The capstone objective of each Action Team is to lead its peers in a school-wide assembly, fundraising campaign, and community service project that meets a tangible need in the lives of vulnerable populations. This program has been trusted by more than 100 local schools for over a decade. Our goal is to increase our Action Teams by 50 percent during the 2024-2025 academic year, and facilitate 50 teams at schools in Spokane and Kootenai counties. We hope to increase the number of Action Teams in both counties. Each Action Team meets weekly with a Generation Alive staff member on its respective school campus for 3 months, going through our best practice model of 1. learning. 2. presenting, 3. fundraising, and 4. serving. Grant funds will allow us to staff these additional teams with one new full-time staff member and allow for appropriate staff to student ratios (1:10) on Action Teams to ensure quality program facilitation for each group. Staffing is the single most limiting factor in being able to grow 33 school Action Teams that exist in the 2023-2024 year to 50 Action Teams in 2024-2025. We currently have a waiting list of schools who would like to bring the Action Team program to their campuses, but our existing staff is at capacity. By simply adding an additional program coordinator, over 17 more schools will have our program, meaning upwards of 340 new students will be on an Action Team and 8,500 additional students will participate in a service project that makes a difference in our community.
