Request for Proposals (RFP’s) Process:

We as Allies believe that we can not enter a community and tell the community what is best for them; instead we promote and foster an environment where the community give input and decides for itself what is best for them. For that we reason we went through the Request For Proposals process. We sent out a form to one hundred Logan Square residents who would be able to submit an idea or proposed project that they had in mind. We received back three project proposals.

Host Committee Process:

We also understand the need for continuous community input about what it is that we are doing and how we are doing it in the community. We went through a process of selecting community residents of Logan Square, members of organizations, youth, and church leaders to serve on our committee. They ultimately heard out the project and decided which project would best serve the youth of the Logan Square community. 

Phase II Logan Square Team Service Project Role:

Our role as second year allies is to find, implement, and assist with coordination of the mural project. We will also assist with brief fundraising as need for the immediate implementation of the mural project. In order to accomplish our goals we have formed four committees:

TSP Committees

Youth Outreach: Involve the youth in the project to share the project responsibilities; promote the project to youth

Promotion:  Promote the project to the community (residents, schools, orgs) to find support for the project

Wall:  Find a wall by canvasing the neighborhood for walls and talk to owners, and researching liability issues

Fundraising: Find donations (paint, masks, etc.) and plan the fundraiser in May
