I'm looking into starting up a non profit ministry for troubled youth. Doing Bushcraft camping. Teaching them how to survive in the outdoors and taking it back to real life to help deal with challenges tha life throws at you.

i want to open a homeless community— an old hotel or apartment complex where the homeless people can maintain the premises and work the cafeteria, a computer lab for resources, job and rental applications, schoolwork, taking their ged, a shop where they can purchase gifts and clothing for interviews or important events. Each individual will have their own “apartment” to stay in, with family members or children—a temporary living situation for people to land on their feet. 3-6 months

This has been so helpful. I’m just a little over a year that I started our Financial literacy program for kids and young adults. We are now waiting for our 501c3. I follow your steps. Thank you so much.

I want to start a non profit for addictions outside the normal drug addiction; shopping addiction, gambling addiction, stealing addiction (and other adrenaline high risk activities), sex addiction, video games addition, social media addiction, and just family dynamic issues as well. The family and friends are an essential part of ensuring someone is healthy because they can be great in the clinic but walk out the door and find triggers everywhere

Thank you so much for all this info!
This is helping me start a non profit for those who need counseling for trauma or marriage issues. -

This was extremely helpful, I had asked Jaylan a teacher I work with for information on how to set up nonprofit organization but he didn't get back with me. I truly appreciate this information, thank you for sharing. For me, I'll hire an attorney.

This was so educational I’m helping my friend do research for her nonprofit. This will be a video I share with her thanks

Well done Amber, true positive vibes. I was busy with my research and stumbled upon your video then an idea hit me, so i will be throwing it out there. Nonprofits need money right! I will set up a proposal with a link if I'm allowed to use your video as first contact base. Season Greetings

I can see the simple plan although there is work to be done this creates a fantastic blue print! Thank you and you have a new follower!
