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. # Kiwanis will hear O'Leary Shelton City Administrator Dave O'Leary will report to the Shelton Kiwanis Club about his recent trip to China.
