MSitting looking out at the 40
pairs of kids eyes today at the
Bridges center, you would be
amazed at how many are seek-
ing your smile or attention. This
is just like in real life when you
pay attention to your own fam-
ily, your spouse, your friends or
your acquaintances. Rarely do
you look at a kid who is not
ready witha return smile or a
comment about their day, or a question about how your day went.This is love in action and
loving your neighbor as yourself.
Should you be in the same place and not interact with the kids and show a sincere inter-
est then the opposite actually happens. The kids come to understand that you are distant
and apparently don’t care about them, or even notice them.This is just like in real life when
you don’t pay attention to your family, your spouse or your friends and acquaintances. Kids
tend to go and seek acceptance elsewhere and make bad choices that snowball out of con-
trol, and leave them wondering how they got into hopeless situations.This is loving yourself
first and loving everyone else when you get around to it, or when it’s convenient.
I can’t think of a better reward than to say that you have loved those around you and put
them first. Our opportunity at Bridges For Youth each day is to look into those kids eyes and
show them how much God loves them, we love them, and well, how much you love them.
Your support of the Bridges For Youth centers allows us to provide that love and we receive
it as though you were looking into the same eyes we are. In so doing you have enabled
us to love 464 kids in the last year. That is love in action. Thank you!
1 John 3:18 “Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions
and in truth.“

ost of my regrets in life in some way are linked to my inat-tentiveness to family, people and friends whowere actuallyno more than a few feet away from me. I can remember asa kid being so engrossed in a TV show that I would not beaware that mom had come home from work and walkedright in front of me. As I grew older I am taken back by theopportunities I missed to show love to my family and thosearound me. Interesting how quickly life passes and with itthose lost opportunities to love others as the Bible says.

Victory Trade SchoolNew Life Program Open House
On April 27, Victory Trade School's Women's Department
hosted an open house at its residential facility, Victory House.
The Women's Department operates New Life Program, in
which students receive a one-year education in discipleship
and life-skills. The open house was held to increase commu-
nity awareness and connect with agencies that can provide
student referrals. In the past year, multiple organizations and
volunteer groups have assisted in renovating and redeco-
ratingmuch of Victory House. During the event, current stu-
dents gave tours of the facility, including the on-site daycare
facility, where women gain job and parenting skills. More
than 40 visitors were in attendance at the open house.

Nonprofit
with thesuccess
media
We live in a busy world that isoverflowing with information.
How can a nonprofit organization get itsmessage noticed? With all the competition forattention (smartphones, TVs, laptops and PCs,radio and electronic billboards), what are thebest ways an organization can reach andengage the public?
Social media is the rage. Everyone talks a lotabout Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube,and other online avenues to connect withfriends and the public. Yet traditionalmedia outlets remain effectiveforms of communication and, insome cases, offer an onlinepresence, too.
Traditional media, suchas TV, radio, and print,are in practically all cities.Even though smaller com-munities don't have as manymedia outlets as larger cities have, mosthave a local newspaper and a radio station.
by Dan Prater,The Center for Nonprofit Communicationat Drury [email protected]

Here are five things to keep in mind when trying to securecoverage for your organization:
1Before you contact themedia, determine if your "news" is actu-ally something considered newsworthy. The term "news" isopen to interpretation, but generally it is an event or piece of
information that is interesting and relevant to a large number ofviewers or readers of the news outlet.
If you are starting a new community-wide program, or are offeringa new service to the public, that's news. If you have a major organi-
zational change - good or bad - that might qualify as news. If you havemade significant, measurable progress in meeting an important com-munity need, that is news. If you have a staff or board member whohas received an award or is being honored, that might qualify asnews, too.
And remember, local stations want local news.
2The best news stories are about people. Look for human-inter-est stories; stories about people who were facing hopeless lifesituations. But thanks to your organization, because of the help
you provided, that person now has a better life with hope for thefuture.
And it’s always preferable to hear from the person or persons whowere helped. A spokesperson from the organization is acceptable, butrarely can he or she talk with the same level of passion as someonewith a personal experience.
3Be the expert. Members of the media are most likely not experts on sub-jects they cover; they rely on local experts to provide them with credibleinformation. When something occurs that relates to your organization'sarea of interest (new law, current event, hot topic, etc.), contact areporter and let her know that if she needs more information, you canprovide it. Establish yourself as an expert on the topic by providing reli-able and relevant information.
4 Contact the right person. David Stoeffler, the executive editor ofthe Springfield News-Leader, says one of the best ways to securecoverage is to find the reporter or editor who is responsible for the
area of focus for your nonprofit. "This might be an education reporter, orsomeonewho covers social services -- or for instance, an environmental reporterif your nonprofit deals with those issues. Start with an email (or a social mediacontact if they are active on Facebook or Twitter), but don't hesitate to followup with a phone call."
5Be timely and responsive. News is now. Don't wait a month after an event tocontact the media. Likewise, don't contact them six months before an event,expecting immediate coverage.
Most members of the media work on a tight deadline.When you request aninterview or coverage of an event, make sure you are prepared for theirresponse. Return phone calls or emails promptly, or else your story may bepassed over for one that is more responsive and available.
Radio,TV, and newspapers provide news coverage 365 days a year.They needcontent, which means they need you and your stories. So be proactive inseeking coverage.
A positive story in the media can have great results. It helps build credibility,and can be instrumental in recruiting volunteers, raising funds, and secur-ing new partners for your organization.

ConnectingVolunteers withNonprofits
Wouldn’t it be great to be able to go online and fill out a simple application allowing you to select several nonprofits you would like to volunteer for? To be able to enter your schedule availability, your skills and your favorite type of volunteer work?
With a Volunteer Database, we can do just that. With a little help from a caring community, we can add this great feature to our web site. A Nonprofit can log in and search for volunteers based on availability, skills and more.
Additional Features will include Sporting Events and other events that might conflict with a Nonprofit Event.
The community will be able to filter their search results depending on the type of event they are looking to attend.
Assisting in Event Schedulingand Awareness of Events
One of the challenges facing Nonprofits is the difficulty in spreading the news about an upcoming event and figuring out WHEN to schedule an event so they won’t conflict with others.
We are working to raise funds for a Nonprofit Community Calen-dar. The Calendar will allow the Nonprofits to log in and add the event information, press release and flyer to our web site. Once they hit submit, our web site will send the information out to all of the Media Outlets available in the area! What a great way to get the word out and create a true Community Calendar.
Volunteer for several charitiesat once, ONLINE.

No matter one’s background, change is possible. But there are times when in-dividuals are unable to do this alone and desire the accountability and en-couragement of a team. Women looking to change their lives for the better canfind this support through the New Life Program at Victory Trade School (VTS).
The VTS Women's Department currently operates two programs -
GED, in which students prepare for the high school equivalency
diploma, and New Life.
New Life is a one-year program that provides education in
Christian discipleship, job training and life skills. Women attend
classes and serve in a variety of internship settings to gain hands-
on work experience.
“The NLP teaches women how to create a new story for their lives
by giving them the opportunity to learn life and job skills,” says
Becca Brotherton,VTSWomen’s Department Chair. “The goal is for
students to take what they have learned and return to society to
teach others by their example.”
Students reside at Victory House, a three-bedroom home that has
space for up to nine women. Local organizations and volunteer
groups recently provided renovations and redecorations at the
home, creating a warm and comfortable environment for the res-
idents to live and study.
Children up to age 10 are allowed to live with their mothers at
Victory House, which also has a daycare facility where students can
serve as interns. The daycare center provides a place where stu-
dents' children can receive care while their mothers are in class
or at work and also a place where women learn both parenting
and job skills.
While living at Victory House, women are encouraged to establish
healthy habits. Smoking cessation classes, participating in a 5k run
and weekly exercise classes are among the opportunities available.
Earlier this year, the Healthy Living Alliance redecorated and pro-
vided new equipment for the house workout room.
In addition to educating the students, staff and volunteers encour-
age them to set quarterly goals.This allows students to successfully
take progressive steps rather than becoming overwhelmed with
the large task ahead.
“The NLP has been great for me,” says student Kara Pyle.“Through
this program I am accomplishing many goals in my life that I could
not have done on my own. Such as, helped me to get my kids back;
live a godly life; and how to deal with my problems in a healthy
way. I’m not the same person I used to be.”
New Life Program graduates are recognized at the annual Victory
Trade School graduation ceremony, Taste of Victory. Alumni are
encouraged and welcomed back to Victory House to share their
experiences and give hope to current students.
In the near future, one of Victory Trade School’s priorities is to
incorporate the Women’s Department into the Culinary Arts
Department. Due to limited housing, at this time, only men can be
accepted as Culinary Arts students. The goal is to find housing in
close proximity to the school campus on Commercial Street.
“By admitting women into the Culinary Arts Program at VTS, they
will be able to develop a highly marketable skill,” Brotherton
explains. “Many students have commented on wanting to con-
tinue their education after completing the NLP by beginning the
culinary track. This would allow women a longer ‘clean and safe’
living environment while being able to build up the resume and
confidence of each student.”
New Life Program operates on a quarterly schedule, but women can
enroll nearly every month of the year.Applications are available on
the Victory Trade School website, www.victorytradeschool.edu.

Lou Holtz, a famous football coach once said, “Life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you respond to it.” We want the teens to develop and cultivate good and appropriate attitudes towards their peers, and to people in authority. We want them to be strong and make smart decisions about their lives and how they respond to situations. Each Unit has a separate Teen Center. We run a variety of programs with the teens that reinforces these ideas. We have a Passport to Manhood pro-gram for our guys that teaches them basic values, commitment, hard work and leadership. Our vari-ous SMART Moves programs are designed to teach them about self esteem and personal image, making smart decisions about drugs and relationships, and how to handle peer pressure. We are am excited for this summer, where we will have the opportunity for some small group breakout sessions where we can talk about these things as guys and girls; junior high-ers and high schoolers. We are working on making every activity we do, something that helps reinforce the value of one’s attitude and response to life.

Downtown that is, for the 5th Annual Downtown in Denim get together.
The Tower Club hosted the event for this year’s fund raiser for the Good Samaritan Boys Ranch. Sponsors and guests enjoyed a four-course,
beef-tenderloin meal, a little wine and a silent auction. It was a fun filled evening with denim clad contributors all
dressed in their favorite blue jean attire.
The Boys Ranch Chorus kept the atmosphere casual with their performances while donators shared conversations and
laughter. All proceeds raised from the event goes directly to the Good Samaritan Boys Ranch.

Every man has grown up with someone who gavethem that extra push to keep going, whether it wasa teacher, a coach, or just a special person in theirlives.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Ozarks provides every man with the oppor-
tunity to be that “someone” to a little boy. Over 66 little boys in the
Springfield area await the day they gain a Big Brother.These young boys sim-
ply want someone who will hang out, play basketball, help them with their
homework, or listen to their troubles and accomplishments. Big Brothers Big
Sisters hopes to help each boy on the waiting list be matched with their own
Big Brother.
Many times we convince ourselves that our schedules are too hectic, but Big
Brothers are only asked to devote a couple hours, a few times a month, for
at least one full year. Not all men realize the impact an hour or two each
week can have on young kids.These boys consider adults as heroes and who
they aspire to be. That short amount of time makes a world of difference in
the children’s – Littles’ – lives. In fact, children in the program are 52% less
likely to skip school and 46% less likely to start using drugs, among many
other positive outcomes.
You don’t have to be a rocket scientist, professional athlete, or mega-mil-
lionaire to be a good Big Brother. You simply have to spend some time with
your Little. The staff at Big Brothers Big Sisters provides all mentors with a
list of free and low-cost activities to do with their Littles. In addition, events
are often conducted in the community to provide additional opportunities
for a match to spend time together.
Who was that special role model in your life? Take the first step towards
being a Big Brother today and become that “someone” to a young boy on
the waiting list. Visit www.bigbro.com or call (417) 889-9136 to sign up for
volunteer orientation to learn more about becoming a Big Brother. It is such
a simple way to change a child’s life for the better, forever.
