HI THERE!
WE’RE SO EXCITED TO TEAM UP WITH YOU!
We have been getting a ton of requests from amazing middle school, high school, and college students who want to help us spread love, joy, & frosting at their schools – we couldn’t be more proud of these innovative and entrepreneurial young adults wanting to help create a batter world!!
We’re still in the process of creating this program in full,
but your feedback will help SO much to make sure this becomes the best it can be 💖🥳🎂🥳🎂💖
There are a few legal things we have to take care of on our end in terms of age restrictions and food handling, so it’s possible we may NOT be able to do something. We will let you know in the descriptions below why we can’t do something, but we are always open to creative solutions to what you want to achieve! Let’s get started!
WHAT DOES A FOR GOODNESS CAKES SCHOOL CLUB LOOK LIKE?
You can help create bake sales for your school and greater community to help fundraise for our Mission! You would submit your fundraise directly to the Chapter Leader, and they’ll donate it on their end. (??????)
You can host presentations and Q&As with your classmates.
(??????)
We unfortunately cannot have anyone less than 18 years old bake directly for For Goodness Cakes and deliver to our partner agencies through your school. You would have to have your parent or legal guardian sign up as a volunteer baker (link) and bake from your home kitchens. We know, we know, we wish it were different - but the legal stuff that accompanies our organization makes this nearly impossible! (??????)
If you are older than 18 years old, that’s another story! We can have college students sign up to be volunteers to bake for our agencies.
STEP 1: COMMITMENT
LOOK AHEAD, DOES IT FIT INTO YOUR SCHEDULE?
ON YOUR END:
We will tell ya - kids, teens, young adults, and adults of all ages LOVE to bake! And they LOVE to party! We expect no less that there will be a ton of interest in being a part of For Goodness Cakes and helping spread social awareness to help our foster and unhoused friends and neighbors around your community and the whole country — especially when there’s cake involved!
We know school schedules can be absolutely full, from sports to leadership to marching band to after school programs. Take a look at your schedule and see if you can fit in running the club into your schedule. If you look 3 months down the road, will you have space to help grow the club? Always feel free to get another trusted co-leader to help you run the club!
ON OUR END:
Patiently waiting for some amazing teens and young adults to surprise us with their ideas for goodness 🥰
STEP 2: APPROVALS
GET THE THUMBS UP FROM YOUR SCHOOL AND PARENTS 👍👍🏻👍🏼👍🏽👍🏾👍🏿
ON YOUR END:
You will have to talk to your teachers/administration to see what entails starting a club. We have a one-sheeter for you here you can present to your teacher/parent [[link]]. You’ll usually have to find a teacher willing to XYZ (chaperone?). Gather all the other materials necessary to submit to your school and once you get the go-ahead…
ON OUR END:
Givin’ ourselves some thumbs up of our own, whippin’ up some treats, celebratin’ wherever we can 🥳🥳🥳
STEP 3: CONTACT US!
SEND YOUR LOCAL CHAPTER LEADER AN EMAIL AND WE’LL GET YOU STARTED!
ON YOUR END:
Go to your Chapter page and email your Chapter Leader! Let us know you’re looking into starting a club. Unfortunately, we can only host school clubs in the Chapters we are already located in. See the Find My Chapter page to find where we are and where we’re opening next! [[link]]
ON OUR END:
Our Chapter Leaders will be there to support and we’ll have additional materials on this page for you to use while starting a club. We hope to make it super simple 🥳 Once we’ve approved your club, we’ll send you over some goodies!
STEP 4: BUILD AWAY!
YOU’VE GOT THE INGREDIENTS, NOW LET’S MAKE SOME MAGIC HAPPEN ✨
ON YOUR END:
Use our flyer templates in our * SUPER TOP SECRET * page to get started. We’ll email you the username and password once we know you’re running the club.
ON OUR END:
We’ll keep eyes on ya and make sure your questions are answered
STEP 5: SPREAD LOVE, JOY, & FROSTING!
Q&As, SPREADING AWARENESS, BAKE SALES, AND MORE!
ON YOUR END:
Once you’ve secured a room and started advertising for the club, use the presentation we have loaded in the * SUPER TOP SECRET * page to give to your fellow classmates. Send us questions if you have any!
ON OUR END:
We’ll keep the presentation as updated as we can with all the trauma-informed language as we learn it. You are always welcome to change what we have on there if something fits better in your community! See our Diversity, Equity. & Inclusion Glossary for the most up-to-date info [[LINK]]
