RE: Day Zero | Steemit Bootcamp for Underprivileged Youths

Hi @warpedpoetic. Why not you start such bootcamps in your city? I'll be documenting the contents I teach over the next 11 days, and we will be making the resources available for you to download too. Stay tuned!

Day One's progress report here.

I can do that but not immediately. I will need to get approval from parents and schools for it to work. When I have been able to achieve that, I will let you know. Here, folks are a bit suspicious of strangers with strange offers. What I am thinking is, meet up with teachers who are patrons of literary clubs and engaging the students through that medium. What do you think?

That's a great idea! Leverage in their influence and connection to boost your profile.

I agree that trust needs time to build, but what you suggested will help speed up the process. A few suggestions I can think of that you can consider:

• Find the early fans (meet parent groups or church groups and start from there)
• Start small (run a small class of 5 of it's easy to manage, and slowly scale it as you get more buy in)
• Create more content on Social Media (with links back to Steemit of course), to "educate" the public on your mission and intention.

Good luck!
