Competition Brief

ProX is a Real World Learning initiative providing summer professional experiences for high school students.

About

Our employer is the Unified Government of Wyandotte County. They provide Wyandotte County with human and environmental services.

Problem

Shelters that already exist are not open all day and don’t focus a lot on helping unhoused people succeed.

Solution

Our solution is to create a homeless shelter called the JAE Opportunity Center which is open all day and has rooms assigned to people who are homeless. Our idea helps with the needs because we will provide each person with a stable room, clothes, food, and transportation with translators to those who don’t speak English. It also supports their needs because the shelter would provide entertainment and educational programs that can teach people important life skills.

Audience | Target Market

The main people affected by the problem are unhoused people because they don’t have the resources.

Learning Outcomes  |  Community Impact

We wouldn’t have as many unhoused people suffering on the streets and people who are homeless would have somewhere to stay. People would also get help to where they can possibly leave the shelter and start living independently in their own home.

Next Steps

The next step is to ask the Unified Government if they could provide us with an abandoned building they own and to fund our first building. After that we would be able to apply for other organizational funding/grants to expand our idea to more buildings.

 Reflection  |  Other Info

This work has impacted us by showing us how hard it is for unhoused people to live when homeless shelters don’t provide what we thought they did. Skills we have built are empathy, creative thinking, and problem solving.

Resource  |  Support Needs

We are not currently accepting contributions from our voters. This pitch is part of the ProX competition for $5,000. If people support our idea with funding, then we would allocate money to each category of our first building. For example bills, workers' salary, hygiene products, furniture, technology, and human needs.

Thank you for sharing your pitch titled "Weather Kiddos." It's great to see your enthusiasm for weather and your desire to help others understand it better. You've identified an important gap in weather knowledge and proposed a way to make information more accessible. Here are a few thoughts on your responses to help you refine your pitch:

1. Your personal passion for weather really shines through in your first response. Consider expanding on how your interest can engage and educate others.

2. You've highlighted a common issue: people often find weather complex or confusing. It might be helpful to explore specific examples of misunderstandings you aim to address.

3. When discussing "Weather information," think about what makes your approach unique. How will your information be presented in a way that's both informative and engaging?

4. The mention of "Weather people" is intriguing. Perhaps you could elaborate on how these individuals will contribute to your project and why they're essential.

5. Transforming your audience into "Informed people" is a wonderful goal. Consider outlining the specific benefits they will gain from understanding weather better.

6. Your idea about helping people "Get supplies" is practical and valuable. You might want to explain how you plan to guide them in acquiring the right resources.

7. Your positive attitude in response to "All is great" is refreshing. Keep that enthusiasm as you continue refining your ideas!

8. Finally, when it comes to "Lesson supplies," think about what materials or tools would be most effective in helping you achieve your educational goals.

Overall, your pitch has a lot of potential, and with a bit more detail, it could become even more impactful. Keep up the great work!
