CCOPS Hosts Forum with Nonprofit Organizations

On November 1st, CCOPS hosted a forum at Clarke High School with representatives from 26 nonprofit organizations.

Prior to the meeting, CCOPS sent questionnaires to these organizations (and to others not in attendance). Of the 33 organizations that responded, the largest issue was the difficulty of raising money.

During discussions at the meeting, all of the organizations agreed that they wanted to get kids involved. They added, however, that it's very hard to get kids involved if they don't want to volunteer. As one organization said: "The kids that are growing up today are the ones that are going to be running this community when we are older and are no longer in charge. We need to get them involved because they have the ideas of the future of our community, they are the future."
