Question:
Hello,
Thanks for the wonderful resource here.

I am a Nigerian with concern for peacebuilding and child development. Recently, I am working on a campaign that targets the juveniles in remand homes. I intend to carry out a value-based counselling and vocational skills training with the kids.

I need support in terms of 'how-to' resources and or curriculum that can be a guide to accomplish this task.

Thanks, as I expect your kind support.
Answer:

            Thank you for writing to us at the Community Tool Box.  We congratulate you on the important campaign you are undertaking. While we do not have specific expertise on values-based counseling or vocational curricula for youth, it should help to contact colleagues you may know or know of who are closer to this particular field and who may have some specific leads for you.  
           More generally, there are some common steps in conducting a campaign such as the one you describe. Basic among these would be to  (1) identify others who you would like to work on this campaign together with you, and who would be able to join you -- for there will be more power from a group of people working together.  Your group would then want to (2) draw up a specific campaign plan together, with specific outcome goals, and actions directed toward reaching those goals.   Part of the campaign would probably involve (3) publicity of some kind, and you would want to consider how that publicity would be done.  Then, as the campaign proceeds, you would most likely want to (4) evaluate its success, which will involve pre-determined indicators of success and measurement of those indicators.  
            Details on how to implement these steps are found within the different sections of the Community Tool Box, specifically in the sections  on starting an intervention, planning, publicity, and evaluation.  If you look through the Table of Contents, you will find the specific section references for these sections and others that we think will correspond with your needs. 
            We hope these suggestions may be useful to you.  Thanks again for writing, and all best wishes for success in your work.
