Abstract
This project will focus on fundraisers and grant writing for YouthAbility. YouthAbility is a local non-profit organization that addresses the issue of underemployment for foster youth by providing job training to young adults in Humboldt County. YouthAbility board members serve as the primary participants in this project based research. This project in collaboration with board members seeks to diagnosis, prescribe, implement and evaluate YouthAbility funding needs and solutions. Utilization-focused participatory evaluation is utilized for this project through consultation by e-mail, telephone and in person contacts with board members and the executive director. This project will complete one fundraiser and two grant proposals. The fundraiser event will be sustainable, and replicable by the board. The grant proposals will open up further networking and grant opportunities. The grant outcomes are addressed to display the success of the program through a case plan style approach.
