Guidelines in Developing a Group Proposal
Introduction Part:
- Why is there a need for such a group?
- What type of group are you forming?
- For whom is the group intended? Identify the specific population. What do you know about the needs for this population?
- Most importantly your rationale for this group needs or be clear and convincing, remember you might have to convince an audience about why there is a need for your group.
- State your goals or what you expect to achieve?
Objectives:
- How many members in your group? Is there a specific age group?
- Are you planning to conduct any pre-group interviewing or pre-screening candidates?
- Where will the group meet and how long will the sessions be?
- Will it be an open or closed group? Would there be any group pre-selection or pre-screening?
- What topics will be explored in this group?
Final Part:
- This part should include how you see your initial goals achieved, or what you expect your group members to accomplish after attending your group.
- If you are administering a pre-screening tool what do you expect to see as you complete the group as far as changes in the scores.
