I would use the missionettes program. You earn badges through lessons and community service, just like in girlscouts. It was alot of fun when i was younger.

Contact your local branch of Junior Achievement.  They do some very nice programs on life skills/ why to continue your education/ the economics of life.  They have units, lesson plans, and materials all developed and can send volunteers in to your class to actually teach the programs.

Start first with your counselor and a teacher you trust.  Tell them that you are not being challenged and need more work -- or at least direction.  There may be teachers on your site with libraries of good, solid reading from which you can borrow.  Also, local churches may offer youth groups that share books and similar experiences to yours.

YES. look through youth groups for thier programs. Jewish youth groups I know of are \n\nUSY and BBYO. USY has some GREAT oppertunities to go away, usually around the US to do mitzvah projects with other jew your age.

Be involved in your community, volunteer at local head start centers, do not hang out at bars (who wants to leave their kid with the local drunk?) get a back ground check, offer this to possible employers. If possible, bring a portfoilio with you to interviews. Include things such as awards you've been given, and things that you've created, like if you've ever written a children's story (even if it was while you were in school) or if you've ever made a game for children. Also, make a mock lesson plan for a week including small motor, gross motor, cognitive developement, art, science, math, and reading. The lesson plan will impress the interviewer, since this is a basic task expected of child care workers.

Make sure you have enough facilities. Create some sort of tournament format. Try to promote the kids as much as possible. Have a Public Address announcer. Make MVP's for games/tournaments. Keep obnoxious coaches under wraps. They're kids not pros so the more annoying Bobby Knight type fathers that are there, the more problems that you will have.

LaLa,\nWorking with the youth sports leagues in your community is a great start. It would be a free service you provide while working with the youth and maybe some future customers!

The Best program Is YOU.  Be there for them read for them, with them, and listen to them every night.  I found for my kids that was the best result

A good start would be approaching the childcare centres and offering to volunteer.  I find things eventuate from here.

Give them plenty of opportunities to get up and move around.  Cooperative groups work well.  You must remember to model for them the things you want them to do.  Patience is key and so is structure. They are very anxious to please and will thrive with your excitement about their learning!  Weekly themes work very nicely- both for you (it's easy to plan), and for them (they keep focused).

You can try coffee shops in the area.  Many of them have bulletin boards that will let you post notices on them.  You might also want to contact churches; they might be willing to plug your program during the annoucements.\nIf you need volunteers, you can also contact the high school in the area.  Often, high schoolers need a certain number of community service hours to graduate, and many also want to be involved in volunteer programs to look good for colleges (and some are motivated by purely altruistic motives).

Give the 1st website a look and then give them a holler.\n\nThe 2nd site: Florida's Transition Project for Infants, Young Children and Their Families assists local communities in establishing trained teams to develop a seamless system of transition among agencies providing services to young children with disabilities, birth to six years of age, and their families.\n\nGood Luck!

Talk to your church or business in the community.  Draw up a flyer to give them, giving the details of the trip and why it's important to go.  Offer to have your daughter come back and make a presentation afterwards about what she learned (especially good for a church that has kids' classes).  Check with your local politicians - city, county and state and make a pitch.  Have your daughter get ACTIVELY involved in finding her own sponsor.  It will come across better (i.e. she has an interest in getting there herself) and will teach her some responsibility.
