PROPOSAL for SOL Summer Camp 2005

Guy's:

Sometimes we find ourselves in the right place, doing the right thing, at the right time! The trick is to not delay.


Hi there - let's try this again !

I know it has been a crazy time of year, but we do need to get the scope defined to make this camp happen by summer.

What's so exciting is that everyone on ths list seems interested in participating and driving this idea to execution.

Carol Gorelick and I are thinking 12:00 est on Dec. 27 for our first 1.5 hour conference call.

Once confirmed by all that can attend I will shoot over a conference call number we can
use. I do hope you can make it.

As for the Detroit team, what would work best is if you have a sub-committee meeeting prior to the call to discuss some issues for the scope (which you will find in the next step portion of the proposal) and then to have one person from the youth team represent the group on the call.

Below is a copy of the initial email I sent to you last month as well as the proposal! I suggest
that if you have the time to look at the following websitehttp www.campcoca-cola.com prior to the call that would be good.

I have made contact with the director of the program and they are interested in helping us get this off the ground. They have been in the youth development business for several years !

I do hope all of you are enjoying the season and the spirit and I can't wait to speak with you all again !

As you know at the SoL Sustainability Forum this past October, the Sustainability Corsortium reached out to begin a Youth Leadership Program.

The excitment to create more and to help develop a memorable experience for Youth Leaders continues within the group. Carol Gorelick and I have been called to action to see if we can make a richer and deeper youth oriented program happen.

Since we returned home we've been working on a proposal for a summer camp - our goal is to make this happen for the summer 2005 which we believe is aggressive but doable. Based on my respect of you I am hoping you can join us at least in the beginning to help sculpt and mold the
program.

The beginning strawman mission is as follows:

PURPOSE:

To establish a Youth and Education Sustainability summer camp within the SoL Sustainability Consortium so that we can bring selected Youth Leaders from around the world to build an active youth community that applies organizational learning principles to the next generation in a way that leverages the experience and research developed over the 5 years of the Sustainability Consortium existence and builds on the current momentum to address social issues related to sustainability.

Will we bring Youth Leaders from around the globe to engage in collaborative projects with supporting Consortium Organizations in a way that raises awareness and increases action so that we transform the environmental footprint of today
