Re: Advice for a team that has lost its school
To help strengthen the sustainability of your team, the primary focus right now should be in pursuing the non-profit status. Even if you use another program's (example, 4-H) for that, your team must build its own support system to help it handle changes and challenges that occur. Either I have overlooked or I haven't found in your posts, that you have a booster club or group to help your team with fundraising or obtaining sponsors and grants. You can have strong outside support from parents and friends of the team but that support could leave or dwindle when the students graduate. By creating a formal group, it brings added and (hopefully) consistent strength and support to the team, helping with the financial ends of things in setting, managing, and achieving short-term and long-term goals.
