Can resource center help nonprofits band together?

WESTMINSTER — I am looking for people to call on for support and resources as I complete my capstone project, which is a feasibility study to determine if a community resource center in Brattleboro should and could be created and if it would be sustainable.

Such a center would provide a shared office space for small social-service organizations to reduce administrative expenses and to increase communication and collaboration among them.

Additionally, this center would offer community members access to many services and resources in one location.

My project will include a community-asset map, an assessment of potential renters, an analysis of five community resource center models, a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) analysis, a financial forecast, a location and space assessment, and a feasibility plan.

If you have experience, skills, or resources for any of these areas or can direct me to someone, please contact me at hollowaycassandra@yahoo.com. Thank you!
