Copywriting
Project details
What we need
- Well-written and compelling copy for marketing or communication materials; examples include a brochure, blog post, one-pager/fact sheet, fundraising/promotional materials
- Messaging that is consistent with brand identity, public relations strategy and communications objectives
Additional details
Our 100-year old residential facility for youth ages 13-18 in Rochester, MN is a safe place for at-risk youth when home isn't a safe place or when they commit a minor crime. Architects have created an amazing vision for a new facility. First, however, we need to tell better stories about the kids we serve, their challenges, and positive outcomes in our program. We need 3 stories that represent our work. These would be used on our website, in fundraising materials, and shared in presentations
What we have in place
- We currently have a marketing person to brainstorm this project, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a program manager and clients to share stories, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $4,212 , allowing us to direct more resources to direct care for youth including shelter, counseling, therapeutic recreation, and education.
Good, emotional storytelling will help engage donors to support this project. Storytelling will help re-frame our message which feels tied to law enforcement rather than about challenges youth face which likely lead to minor crimes.

Our mission
