Competition Brief

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

About

My employer is a nonprofit called Build Trybe. Build Trybe acts as a pre-apprenticeship, teaching homeless youth and kids aging out of the foster system trade skills.

Problem

The problem I am trying to solve is the lack of funding that effects the number of kids my organization can take on.

Solution

My solution is to turn Build Trybe into a Zero Waste company so that they can apply for more grants and in turn, help more children in need. This is because the more funding they have, the more mentors they can hire, which also increases the number of kids they take on.

Audience | Target Market

The main people affected by the problem are youth who are homeless and kids aging out of the foster system. Build Trybe serves kids 14 and up.

Learning Outcomes  |  Community Impact

The social impact would be that the rates of youth who are in foster and homeless will go down.

Next Steps

The next steps are to collaborate with the grant writer about what would be the best plan of action in order to obtain the Zero Waste grant.

 Reflection  |  Other Info

This work has made me realize how difficult it can be to navigate the complexities of grant writing. This has also helped me improve my perseverance.

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 this idea, we would use the funding to hire the grant writer who can help us find Zero Waste grants and work with us on completing the requirements.

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!
