The youth event coordination service was created to facilitate organizations as they look for unique ways to bridge the gap between their communities and youth. Events of all shapes and sizes can be opportunities to connect with youth in a fun, easy, inclusive, and accessible way! Not only does it show that your organization is taking the time and energy to connect with youth, but it can create a relaxed environment for you to hear their ideas, and perspectives and how together you can improve your community.
Putting on an event is no small feat – it takes time, energy, strategy and resources. But rest assured, that’s where I step in. Together we will figure out the best type of event for your organization to set up with youth, how to get them to your event, how to connect with them and most importantly how to retain them in your network. These events will serve as both a tool to attract youth to your community and organization and mobilize them to support your cause and mission.

What could this look like?
Let me take a second to paint you a picture of what this could look like. Say your organization is looking to bring more youth into your community and you want to hear what they think about you, the services you offer and where you think changes should be made.
That is an excellent start, now comes the fun part – deciding what type of event to host. What about an open house? One night or day on the weekend, invite youth to come talk to your organization, give their feedback, meet, and mingle with other young people and get excited about your cause. your organization will do an open house directly targeted to youth in your community.
This might sound a bit intimidating, but don’t you worry – that’s why I’m here. Working together means I’ll be facilitating, guiding, and helping you from the moment you decide to host an event to after the event where we evaluate how it went.
Curious as to what’s included in this service? Here’s a quick rundown:
Full Event Coordination – I’ll oversee everything from planning to logistics to the outreach, advertising, and coordination of the event.
Logistics and Planning
Tailored youth outreach strategy personalized to your event and organization
Advertising and promoting the event
Running the back end of the event so you can focus on your guests
Day of Event Coordination – Have you got all the planning and logistics covered? Amazing! But still need some help on the day to make sure everything runs smoothly; I’ll step in and make sure everything goes according to plan while you build meaningful connections with youth.
Virtual Events Support – Events nowadays take a unique life of their own, including virtual events which are still very popular and an excellent way to get in touch with your youth. I designed this service to help organizations handle the logistical and technical side of Zoom or other virtual meeting platforms. You focus on learning and engaging with youth – and I’ll take care of the rest. Bonus: I’ll even take care of the event registrations – one less thing for you to do.
Why do you NEED this service?
Now what it all boils down to is why you need this service, and the most important reason is that hosting an event for youth is an excellent first step to fostering meaningful relationships for your organization.
From there you will see how vastly your network will grow, the support you will have both financially and in terms of volunteers, and the skills, talent, and resources you’ll have at your disposal. But perhaps even more important than all of that, you’ll have a community of young, passionate, driven and inspired people who believe in you and your cause – what more could you ask for?
