Project Background

A non-profit, Young Women on the Move (YWOM), helps middle and high school girls in Wyandotte County live healthier and more prosperous lives. They are operating out of a 100-year-old church donated to them in 2017. They have several needs stemming from that space as well as opportunities to expand their environmental justice impact and provide pathways to careers that support those goals. YMOM is planning to renovate a portion of the church. Additionally, adjacent to the church is a condemned property owned by the organization. YWOM is interested in having the property demolished to turn it into an outdoor classroom.

Description of the Community:

By focusing on building a healthy life in all aspects– physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual– YWOM supports girls to identify their strengths and unleash their potential to be tomorrow’s leaders. YWOM provides in-school, after school, and summer programs and services. YWOM serves disadvantaged youth with limited access to environmental education or STEM opportunities.

Project Scope of Work:

The Community Engineering Corps project team will work closely with YWOM to achieve their renovation and outdoor classroom goals. Scope will include facilitating a visioning session with additional partners to learn about site needs and goals, conducting a feasibility study for the outdoor classroom (pending adjacent property demolition), and the development of conceptual plans and budgets for both the outdoor classroom and church renovation.
