2023 - 2024 ASPIRE Outfitters Committee Interest Survey
Hands4Hope - Youth Making a Difference has partnered with ASPIREKids and is teaming up to create the ASPIRE Outfitters Committee. ASPIRE Outfitters is an ASPIREKids program which provides clothes for vulnerable youth. Members of this committee will be responsible for helping to organize and implement this program out of ASPIREKids new location, next door to the Hands4Hope Placerville Youth Center.

A little background on ASPIREKids from Jodi, Aspire Kids Director:  ASPIRE Outfitters is an ASPIREKids program which provides clothes for vulnerable youth.  The youth served by the ASPIRE Outfitters program are typically homeless, living in very low income situations or recently placed in foster care. The ASPIREKids team most commonly receives requests for clothing from school counselors, community outreach coordinators and social workers. Once a request comes in, an ASPIREKids team member gathers new and gently used clothing in the right sizes while trying to honor the youth's personal style. The clothes are put in a new duffel bag and delivered. Teenagers also receive a gift card to purchase personal items. All of this is incredibly important because having clothes that you feel proud to wear makes you more confident and improves school attendance and performance.

ASPIRE Outfitters Committee members will have the opportunity to have input into the creation of the ASPIRE Outfitters Boutique that will be located in the Placerville Youth Center. Once the boutique is open, the committee will participate in the collection and distribution of clothing in the boutique. The ASPIRE Outfitters Committee members will also have opportunities to identify and create processes for this program,  requests from partner agencies and will identify needed items and create events and campaigns to collect or raise funds for these. 

The ASPIRE Outfitters Committee will be made up of youth and adult mentors, including youth committee leadership positions of Chair, Vice Chair, and Secretary. Committee meetings will begin in June 2023 and run through the 2023-24 program year (ending May 31, 2024), at which time committee members may choose to remain on or drop off the committee.

**For the success of this program, it is essential that committee members be able to meet once a month for committee meetings and provide support for outreach and organizing events throughout the year.**
