Idea Description
Some essential components in positive growth and development are clean air, community resources and good nutrition.Due to lack of nutritional resources many children experiencing poverty turn to criminal activity and destructive behavior.Project Genesis! strives to address this evolving issue by providing to at-risk youth hands-on gardening activities to grown and nurture their own plants from seed to harvest, along with economic and environmental education. A collaboration of master gardeners, science educators and specialist will equip our young gardeners with the knowledge, skills and resources needed to grow basic produce, which are key elements to a positive productive future.

I like your idea; I want to improve your odds of getting funding I will vote for your idea if you will vote for mine. My idea is for a web site that raises money for inventors and entrepreneurs called New Idea website Check out my idea blob submission and visit New Idea Website and see what I can do for you. http://www.ideablob.com/ideas/4060-NEW-IDEA-WEBSITE The need for jobs is one of the biggest problems that a democratic government faces because creating jobs is an unwanted byproduct of business and industry. The reason I say its unwanted is the more jobs a business creates the more its expenses are and the smaller it’s bottom-line. If business and industry have their way they would run their companies with no jobs at all no management or labor. To deal with this dilemma I pr…moreopose a federal venture capital carrot fund that literally pays entrepreneurs to create jobs. The investment bank would be expected invest in seed level startup projects like yours and to lose money at a specified dollar per jobs ratio for example during hard times that figure may be as high as $20,000 per job and good times the figure may be as low as five dollars per job, by controlling this ratio the fed could roughly control unemployment. The bank will be expected to fund novel products and services and stay away from things like restaurants that will simply draw jobs from other restaurants or moving factories from one part of the country to another. If you like this idea vote for it and send the congressional letter from the website. Sincerely Frank Scruggs
Not sure what you are thinking about geography. Know that we have perhaps the perfect location for your first markets here in Fresno. We can provide the ag based region, plenty of poverty and gang activity and our work which is all about embracing and empowering community leadership to take ownership for their own solutions. We could provide a great set of circumstances for establishing a best practice for you.
Great idea! This is so important and so needed in the world. :)
