I would like to propose the making of a non-profit challenger program featuring different sports to play for each season for Ralston. For this non-profit organization, I think that making a challenger program would be a good fit for Ralston, because by looking at Ralston, you can see that the people living here are always willing to help out their neighbors and be involved with the community. This program will benefit children and adults with disabilities in the area, and allow for more social capital, heart and soul attributes, and contact zones to be formed. In doing this, it will allow the community to become for inclusive and accepting to people with disabilities.
The program will be run by volunteers in the community who are willing to help and work with children or athletes ages 4 to 18 with disabilities. Adults with disabilities can also sign up for the program as coaching assistance and help out that way. Volunteers or buddies that want to help have to be at least 13 or in 7th grade to participate, and coaches have to be adults or experienced buddies. All volunteers have to complete the designated training program for the sport at least once before they become a volunteer for that sport offered that season. It will work by forming some kind of governing structure. Coaches will make and enforce rules and run a program, pairing buddies with athletes, and making and going over practice stations. They will also run fundraisers and be in charge of budgeting. Coaches assistance will assist the coaches in practice. Buddies will work one-on-one with the athletes staying with their paired athlete the whole practice and teaching them how to play the sport.
Parents are also involved in the program and can also be in charge of making fundraisers and budgeting but are not allowed to be involved in the practice. The way the program is designed is to have parents relax and enjoy watching their kids play sports.
The program is non-profit, so fundraising will be a big part of the program with auctions, paint nights, social dinners, and other fundraising events. These fundraising activities will pay for uniforms, merchandise, sports equipment, field fees, and team fees. The goal is that no athlete or parent will be paying to be part of a team, for equipment, merchandise, field use, or uniforms. Children with disabilities tend to have high medical bills in response; it will not cost athletes or their parents anything to play.
