Sample 07 · Youth center

Kestrel Youth CenterA sample youth-center website. The organization is invented.

A drop-in teen center in a former hardware store: open 3 to 7, a van from two schools, dinner every night, mentoring. Six staff, a budget of about $700,000. The site reads like the center's text thread, because that is how parents already hear from it.

The invented organization
  • KindTeen drop-in center with mentoring
  • BudgetAbout $700,000
  • Staff6, plus volunteer mentors
  • Pages6, driven by one day-sheet

Brand sheet

One name, one look, one voice.

Every sample has its own brand, set once and used the same way on every page, from the home page to the financials. It is the same work we do for your organization.

  • A name and a wordmark, set in one display type
  • Four or five colours, each with one job
  • One type for reading, chosen for the people the site serves
  • One line that says what the organization does, used in search, listings and the share preview

What to try

Six things to press, in order.

Each one is a working feature, and each one is an example of what we build. Nothing you do on the site is recorded.

01

Today's notice becomes the site

Staff write one day-sheet: hours, whether the van runs, dinner, a closure. It feeds the thread, the facts column, the Parents page and the quick-reply chips at once.

Try: press a quick-reply chip; the answer is written from today's sheet, not by a bot.

02

Programs as messages

Six programs with days, times, ages and rooms, staff-edited, shown as bubbles in the thread.

Try: find which program runs on Thursday.

The Programs page
03

The Parents page and the van

Hours, the van times and dinner come from the same sheet; a demo "text me" form that sends nothing and says so.

Try: submit the form; it lists what a real site would do.

The Parents page
04

Mentor steps in public

Five steps before anyone meets a teen, then a demo application. Nothing is sent; the page says what would happen.

Try: read the steps; then apply with the sample answers.

05

A referral form with live capacity

The form reads the places left from the data and switches to a waitlist at zero. No health questions, no teen named.

Try: submit a referral; the confirmation depends on the live count.

Impact with a method

Five numbers, each with how it was counted, and the year adding up beside five labelled filings.

The staff side

The button below signs you in to the real staff area as sample staff. You see what the organization's staff would see: one menu, a tile per tool, and the checks.

  • 01Tiles for Today's notice, Notices, Parent texts, Programs, Mentoring, Impact metrics, Financial documents, Events, Year-end
  • 02Checks: no notice today after 1 p.m., closed without a reason, tomorrow unwritten, mentoring places at zero
  • 03"Text every parent" prefilled from today's notice; here it logs and sends nothing
  • 04Press Update on anything and the screen says "Nothing was saved"

Sample video

An afternoon, in a minute.

A sample of the one-minute videos in the plan: one day at the center, what it costs, and what the year added up to, told from its own numbers.

  1. 1You send the photos and clips you already have, and a line or two on what the video is for: year-end giving, volunteers, an event, the story in your 990.
  2. 2We write a one-minute script from what is on your site and in your filing, and send it for your yes.
  3. 3We make it within one week of getting your material: about a minute, wide and vertical, captions burnt in, and a text version for your site.

Up to five a year are in the plan, at no extra charge. The first five nonprofits can have one free: see the offer →

Sample video. Kestrel is invented, so it has no footage of its own: the clips are free stock (Pexels), no young person is shown and no face appears, and the narration is a synthetic voice. For a real organization connectNPO uses only the photos and clips its staff send.

Read the script instead (about one minute)

Three o'clock. The van leaves at two forty-five.

Kestrel Youth Center. A free teen center and mentoring program, ages eleven to eighteen, on Millrace Street.

Doors open at three. Homework, the kitchen, the studio, the gym... and dinner, every night.

Nine thousand four hundred plates this year, counted by the kitchen lead each night.

A hundred and forty-two young people came thirty days or more this school year. Attendance is taken at the door, by name.

Thirty-eight mentor matches. Thirty-one of the matches that started a year ago were still meeting at twelve months.

What the center cannot prove, it does not claim. It reports who came, how often, what they ate, and what they said.

Of four hundred and seventy-one thousand dollars spent last year, three quarters went to the programs. Staff, food, and the van.

Sixty dollars is dinner for a week, for one young person. The day sheet, the hours and the filings are all on the site.

Sample video. Kestrel Youth Center is invented and every figure is a sample. The clips are free stock (Pexels), no face is shown, the narration is a synthetic voice and the music is AI-generated. Made by connectNPO.
