    Home-Start was founded in Leicester, UK, in 1973 by the late Margaret Harrison. Home-Start International (now known as Home-Start Worldwide) was started in 1999 with the purpose of offering training, information and guidance to those wanting to start Home-Start in their own countries, and to support existing Home-Starts throughout the world. The Home-Start network operates successfully in 22 countries. I am one of the multi-national team of Trustees of Home-Start Worldwide.
    We are currently writing a guide for people who have heard about Home-Start and are wondering whether it would be a good idea to start a scheme in their own country. Home-Start is a family support charity where volunteers offer regular support, friendship and practical help to young families under stress, helping to prevent family crisis and breakdown, and emphasising the pleasures of family life. As people investigate setting Home-Start up in their country they will need to do a 'Community Needs Assessment'. Being able to use some of the information from the Community Tool Box in this section of our guide has been amazing. We are grateful for their generosity in sharing!

    I'm the Director of the Youth and Family Services Division at my agency. I oversee programs that provide case management and therapeutic services to low income students and their families. Our work takes place both within the school (which are community school modeled services) and in the community.
    Parent engagement and community education and development are embedded in our community school mission. We want to find ways to strategically, efficiently and effectively elicit input from families and the community so that the programs and services we offer are a reflection of what they see as the needs. We want to help the community take ownership of identifying ways to meet needs by leveraging their assets and taking ownership of the challenge.

    Who I am Use of CTB
    Since turning sixty years old, I've taken a different view of life and my role in it. Today I see too many young people missing out on the opportunity to pursue a higher education. Along with that, our own communities are eroding from lack of support for core nonprofit organizations. The rise of crowd- funding as a means to offset conventional funding gives us an option that can unify our communities and educate our young people about the benefits of small actions that can make a big impact.
    I can't say what I have not done yet, but my hope is to use Community Tool Box to aid in the teaching of our team members and leaders in the community as to how we can better arrive at the goals that we have set for our campaigns. Funding nonprofits, building relationships with our young people and developing funding for higher educational pursuits are our primary goals. We are just beginning, and we need all the help that we can get. Thank you very much, from all of us.
