Youth MOVE: Strategies for Chapter Development
This Targeted Institute will focus on strategies and methods for developing Youth MOVE Chapters, as well as other
youth groups and organizations. Faculty will offer strategies related to increasing chapter membership, developing
bylaws, group sustainability, and other methods of chapter development. The information to be highlighted is based on
the Youth MOVE National Chapter Tool-Kit that was created for the direct use of chapters as a technical assistance
resource to support their development. Strategies will also be derived from a document developed by Youth MOVE
National to help family organizations support the development of youth organizations.
Specific topics to be covered include:
• Chapter membership including recruiting, retaining, and developing members
• Bylaws development and other organizational procedures that assist in group productivity
• Methods for family organizations to support the development and sustainability of youth groups and how to assist
them properly
• Establishing a speaker’s bureau and a writing team as methods of fundraising
• Using social media outlets for marketing and how to market in the community
Participants will have an opportunity to dialogue with other youth groups to strategize on effective methods of adapting
this information to maximize benefits in their communities.
