STAFF AND BOARD members of Save Our County's Kids
attend a training session on planning for the future.
Standing from left to right, they are: Dan Ryder, Andrea
Love, Sue Sheldon, Bob Bottman, Hannah Franks, Kelsey
Martin-Keating, Stephanie Cook, and facilitator Marcia
Hamilton.
Youth center sets
future direction
Just having celebrated its 10th
anniversary of serving youth in
Mason County, the SOCK Youth
Center, also known as Save Our
County's Kids, is looking to the
future. Staff is creating strategic
plans for what that future might
look like at SOCK.
One part of this visioning pro-
cess was a SOCK staff retreat day
with local LOOP facilitators Mar-
cia and Denny Hamilton. LOOP
stands for Life-Oriented Objective
Planning and can be modified to
analyze individuals or organiza-
tions.
"Marcia made it so easy to
see what needs to be done to get
to where we want to be with our
youth programs in three years,"
added Kelsey Martin-Keating,
SOCK youth programs manager.
The LOOP method is based on
the ZOPP method which itself
derives from a concept called the
"logical framework" originally de-
veloped in the 1970s by two con-
sultants. The German acronym
ZOPP stands for Ziel Orientierte
Projekt Planung, which translates
into English as "Objective-Orient-
ed Project Planning."
LOOP applies this project ap-
proach to personal planning and
organizational planning that puts
the organization's people into the
picture. There are 10 steps to a
LOOP workshop, which are used
to create a visual bridge to the fu-
ture of the organization. All work
is done on colorful sticky notes,
which can be placed on the wall to
maximize the visual effect.
The Hamiltons have performed
LOOP training sessions for orga-
nizations around the world. They
recently returned to the U.S. and
their home near Belfair for an
extended stay and offered their
services to SOCK because of their
longtime interest in organizations
that serve youth.
SOCK staff members were
asked to select the priority tasks
it would take to reach goals they
had identified as achieving three
years from now. These tasks are a
"bridge" to reaching future goals.
All goals were framed as if they
had actually been achieved.
Some of them included: priority
youth programs are identified and
articulated; SOCK's policies and
procedures are clearly articulated;
and SOCK develops a strategy to
increase direct funding from the
community.
"This LOOP planning exercise
really helped us see how we can
continue to grow SOCK while
maintaining its focus on heIR-
ing kids believe in themselves,"
said SOCK executive director Sue
Sheldon.
