Now that you have identified the need for your project, decided on a general purpose, chosen a name and identified places and people you can go to for assistance, it's time to get started! Having a meeting to involve others will help you figure out the how to get things started. Always easier to do with more than one brain working on it!
		1. When and where can I hold my first Project meeting?
		2. Are my date and time convenient and my location accessible (i.e. is it easy to get to by public transportation in a central area of the city, will people in wheelchairs be able to get in and out of the site)?
		3. Who can I invite? (Hey, you've probably already answered this! Take a look at your planning section - what resources in your community did you identify that might be able to help you?  You're waaaay ahead of yourself!)
		4. Do I need to advertise and recruit other people to attend the meeting? Where (school, community center, local newspaper, friends network) can I spread the word about my meeting?
		5. What is the goal of this meeting? Have I set an agenda?
		You can't do everything by yourself! So take that group that you brought together for your meeting, and turn them into a project committee!
		6. What jobs need to be done in order to successfully begin my project? Who can fill them? You can make a chart that looks like this:   Jobs /Roles: Name: Contact #:
		7. Which jobs or positions still need a person to do them? Where (first meeting, friends, community organizations) can I find people to fill these particular positions?
		Now that you've got your project committee together, it's time to talk about timelines - when are you going to do what you're planning to do?
		8. What activities are contained within the Project?
		9. Where is your activity going to take place?  (Take a look at your community resources again - they might be able to help you).
		10. What is the timeline (sequence or order) of these activities? You can make a chart that looks like this:  Activity: Estimated Date and Duration (Start to Finish): People involved
		Yep, there's always bills. Time to figure out what you need, and how to get it! (Called the budget in Proposal-speak)
		10. Prepare a list of the materials (paper, pens) and other costs (photocopying, advertising) you will need for the Project and approximately how much they cost.
		11. Which materials (paper, adult supervision, large room) can I get donated? (This is called in-kind donations)
		12. Where can I go to find funding (money) for other costs in the Project, or who can help me to find this out in my own community?
		Getting media attention for the Project is often very helpful in increasing the success of the project, increasing awareness about the issue, getting new volunteers and even increase your chances for funding support.
		13. What message would you like to get out to the general public?
		14. What are the newspapers, radio and television stations in my community? How do I contact them? You can make a chart that looks like this:  (Newspaper, Radio etc.) Name: Contact #:
