Hi Kami. Thanks for contacting CTB,
First, you probably need to do some needs-resources assessment and planning, while locating others who are interested in starting a youth project. I would suggest you start "small" by organizing some activities with local youth while building interest in a larger effort. Be sure and talk to some of the youth to find out what activities they really want and are willing to help with; so they share in those small successes. Small successes build confidence and also attract others to the effort. If there are other formal youth organizations in your area, let them know what you are interested in doing and ask them to help.
Please click on our Learn a Skill graphic at the top of our page, and then on Table of Contents. Chapters 3 through 5 and Chapter 7 may be helpful in getting started. As interest and participation build, later chapters will become relevant.
I wish you success and hope this information helps.
