EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Muffins with Mom
Doughnuts with Dad
July Jamboree
Get on the Bus is a nonprofit organization which connects children
and their imprisoned parents by taking the children and their guardians
to visit the parent in prison at no cost to the child or family. In the Central
Valley Get on the Bus is having problems with lack of awareness of the
program this business plan should help guide them and increase the
awareness of the program in the Central Valley. To bring a brand
awareness of the program Get on the Bus should incorporate Muffins
with Mom on Mothers day, Doughnuts with Dad on Fathers Day and
July Jamboree where they can have a festive day with their parents. The
expected time frame of completion for this program is 2016 2017.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Get on the Bus brings children and their imprisoned mothers
and fathers together. This is an annual event, Get on the Bus offers free
transportation throughout the State of California for children and their
caregivers to prisons. Get on the Bus provides travel bags for the
children, comfort bags for the caregivers, a photo of each child with his
or her parent, and meals for the day (breakfast, snacks on the bus, a
special lunch at the prison with their parent, and dinner on the way
home), all at no cost to the children's family. On the bus trip home,
following a four-hour visit, each child receives a teddy bear with a letter
from their parent and post-event counseling.
NEEDS ASSESMENT
In order to accomplish this project, we will reach out to local radio stations,
television stations, and newspapers in order to create awareness for Get on the Bus
and inform the general public of the programs value. We will create a local following
on social media which will include Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and Twitter. We
will use Face Books Custom Audiences tool to target our desired demographics and
share stories about our past success stories. On YouTube we will showcase our efforts
by sharing our heartwarming mother and father child reunions. We would like to use
Instagram to share photos of those life changing moments in the lives of children
when they are once again reunited with their mothers and fathers. On Twitter we
would like to create a conversation by offering facts such as the statistics on the
number of children who have a mother in prison we would also accept donations
through Twitter. Lastly, we also aim to increase Get on the Bus presence on Googles
search engine and have it appear as the first search result given when searching for
Get on the Bus.
TARGET MARKET
Profile: Low Income Families $26,000-$35,000
Foster House: Foster Care Children or Guardians in charge of family
members because this is where children of imprisoned parents usually
end up living in.
Segmented Markets
Volunteers: We aim to target volunteers in order to facilitate bus visits
and coordinate day camps for training. Volunteers are essential in
making the trips run smoothly and help grow the event and create a buzz
about the organization and program benefits.
Strategies: Create a plan at the start of each year and coordinate with the
correctional facilities to see what dates are available for Get on the Bus
Limitations: The budget is $10,000 per year and the source of income
lacks transparency. There may also be potential backlash and social
fracas plague. Lastly, Get on the Bus suffers from limited staff/volunteers.
CATEGORICAL COVERAGE
In order to make the program work in the future, it is important to
let the community and society know about these kids because often times
can be neglected. Educate community how much children needs their
parents attention and current programs needs supports to run necessary
programs for these kids. Children with incarcerated parents believe that
concerned people are the key to change their lives.

RECOMMENDATIONS
The organization could educate the community through
holding or participating in an event that shows childrens emotion and
development at a young age can be very dependent on parental
involvement. However, children with incarcerated parents are able to
visit only once or twice per month. Another possible improvement would
be increasing the awareness of social media platforms. Today, most of
population is using mobile devices and have access to their social media
accounts. Organizations can obtain more community support through
social media presence.
