·      From the time money is raised for the project, seven individuals will be given a three-month training and job opportunity.  The time of service learning can be pre-event, during the event, and post event.   

·      In alignment with the theme "Bridging the Generations" the program pool will consist of two adults over 55, three high school to post graduate students and two long-term unemployed adults under 55 (7 people).  The program will be conducted quarterly with new participants throughout the year.

·      Program participants will learn about public relations, media relations, community relations, general marketing, cause related marketing, advertising writing, budgeting and event planning and will learn or enhance their job readiness skills.

·      The program will be extended or expanded depending on fund raising. If the fundraising goal of $15,000 is not raised, the program will be adjusted based on the funds that are raised. Funding will be sought from public and private entities.

·      As an additional measure to allow some additional training, the National Council on Aging Seniors Community Services Employment Program administered by Family Service Agency of San Francisco may provide a program participant that will be paid through their program.  SCSEP pays unemployed and underemployed people the highest federal, state or local minimum wage for 20 hours a month to work with nonprofits.   Other state and federal programs will be researched as possibilities also.
