need money to expand home-based daycare business to a community-based after school/ summer long youth program

Aug 23, 2005
I am a very gifted/talented young woman who would very much like to help the pre-teen/teenage population here in Fairbanks, Alaska by starting up an afterschool/summer long youth program (targeting youth ages 12-18)  and in hopes of mentoring troubled teens, particularly those of lower income families like myself.  A program such as this would involve monies and /or supplies for the children of the following proposed program activities and neccessary supplies:

Arts and Crafts  (painting, drawing, wood work, sewing, beading)
Sporting Equipment (basketball, soccer, volleyball)
Tranportation Services (6+ multi-seat vehicles)
Educational and Recreational Field Trips (Library, Fishing, Hiking, Berry-picking, Camping)
Career /  Trade Resource Information  (Computer Lab, printers, copier/fax machine,  internet connection and reference materials)
Assistance with Homework Studies (School -related)

I am currently a member of the "Big Brotherss, Big Sisters" program here in Fairbanks, Alaska and my "Little" is 12 years old.  I am inspired by her to reach out to as many of the youth in this area as possible as there is a great need for  such a proposal as the above mentioned.  I am asking anyone and everyone to please help me in this  business endeavor as I believe that I have what it takes to nurture and inspire the young minds  of our future american leaders.

My name is Kelly and I am 31 years old.  I live with my husband Kenny and our two little girls, ages 3 and 7 years old.  I have lived in Fairbanks for the past 6 years.  I worked full-time as a pharmacy technician until adequate daycare for our youngest daughter became unavailable.  That is what prompted me to search other avenues of interest in business.  I have provided in-home short-term and long-term daycare now for over a dozen different children since February of 2005. Ultimately, I love to teach arts and crafts.  I have found that all children are unique, open-minded sponges when it comes to learning and I really enjoy helping them to express themselves through arts and crafts!
