Step 3: Determine Location for Programs

Consider partnering with an existing church or community center. In some cases, these will be provided free-of-charge. In other cases, a mutually beneficial partnership allows the local church or community center to generate some much-needed rental income while providing vacant or under-utilized space for community programs.

If necessary, clean, update and/or renovate space for community programs. Recruit volunteers from church to clean facility, complete repairs, and renovate.

If hosting a sports camp, identify local parks in the neighborhood. Apply for any local permits that are required.
