search Yahoo groups for your interests--you will find groups of people interested in the same things you are, which is a good place to start.

Dude, have I got the help for you.  I've just gone through all this mess trying to start a movement here in Tacoma.  First things first, you have to have a name that grabs peoples attention, both for the group and for the forum.  Then you pitch the idea to local groups, like the Democrats or the Greens or some other local organization.  If you're shy, you can spread the word via email lists, forums, message boards, or other media.  Then when you get a few hits of people who are interested, you can ask them if they have any resources you can use.  Use the cheapest means available to raise awareness of your event.  If there are community calendars or bulletin boards at places of social significance, plaster them liberally.\n\nStart a blog.  Check out the one I started at www.apctahoma.blogspot.com  There you can see that I really created the whole concept right there on the spot.  It takes a little work to set up and to post to, but you can do it for free over at blogger.com.  With a blog you can update members about meetings, post cool articles, and build an online community.  What you really want to do is find a techie or group of techies who like your cause and want to help promote it with their expertise.  Without that kind of help, you're stuck just working on messaging your event and tooling it to appeal to a broad base of folks.  Which can be effective, but the sooner you get an active web presence and good media materials, you won't be seen as quite professional enough.\n\nSponsors are critical, whether it's your local Labor Council or a small local business.  Use the resources you have to open up other resources.\n\nSince you're a college student, you have access to something other people don't have: college faculty.  Find a teacher who believes in what you believe, and let him tell you how it's done.  Most active teachers will love to help you set up something like this, particularly poltical science or history professors.\n\nAlso, critical to this work is picking events that have action related stuff in the ad.  So it could be writing letters, marching, hearing speeches, interacting in workshops, drumming or eating, whatever the activity is.  And it should imply that something is actually going to be accomplished.  Folks usually only like to go to process-type meetings if they're involved in the leadership, so instead set up some fun activities for the group to do.  You might even partner up with a local charity and do something jointly together as a way of bringing your networks together.  In this day and age, service attracts a lot of interesting people.\n\nAnd know your audience.  If your audience is sophomores and juniors have good music, very little drama, and a whole lot of interesting conversation, and the good times will roll.  With seniors and beyond, focus on events as they can fit into a full-time  grownup's busy schedule.\n\nAlso incorporate elements of you into everything you do.  If you like art, get some art for your event.  If you like piano, get yourself a pianist.  Remember, if it isn't fun, you won't keep doing it.  And you have to keep doing it.\n\nGo ahead and steal this title idea "Speak Your Peace - A Community Forum on the Future of Democracy" Perhaps that will inspire you to come up with good ideas of your own.\n\nGood luck, and never stop believing in the power of good people to do great things.

Firts approach the hall where you want to have it. Find out the cost of hire. Playgroups are usually non-profit but you will need to charge a couple of dollars to cover expensenses.Until recently I was a treasurer for a playgroup. We had adults morning tea on a roster system-someone differant bought something each week. The same with a craft.We did raffles in our group.Eg Easter time we all bought an item or two to raffle off in hampers to raise some money for things like new toys coffee etc. You can ask local schools to put ads in newsletter for unwanted toys, and also new members. Start with a few friends, and if you have to advertise in the local paper. The important thing is you need donations to start with. In QLD Australia we have a state wide Playgroup Association who have good ideas, and starting points, but I have no idea if these things are world-wide. You could approach local business for your basics...coffee, tea etc until the funds started coming in. For the kids morning tea each parent would bring a piece of fruit, and we'd cut it up and share it

Go to http://groups.yahoo.com/start\n\nSelect the category you want your group in\n\nFollow the steps on each page to create and name your group\n\nOnce created, you will be able to control the membership and other settings for the group; for example, if you only want your specific friends to join, you can close the group to the public and general membership.  You can also choose moderator settings to ensure that no one joins without an invite or approval from you and make sure that no messages get posted to the group without you seeing them first.

You need to create a positive community that these kids can look to.  That means creating a group that has certain goals or purpose.  Maybe it can be finding a place for kids to play together and organizing games, to start.\nThen as your group grows, you can organize more elaborate events that they help put together.  And meanwhile you look for the resources you need, a building, food, etc.\nThe key is to get them involved in improving their own lives.\n\nAs your group comes together, appeal to those who do have resources to help with what you need.  Start small, aiming to grow larger as a network.  You often find that people know people or work for people that may be sympathetic to your idea and may want to help.\n\nYes, if you want this to happen, it will have to be part of everything you do.  It is a huge problem.  Good luck.

Just learn how to ask people about themselves and when they answer be a very good listener and show interest in what they are saying.  People will think you are a great friend and a great person.  It's amazing what will happen.  You will become the most popular person in the group.

Start with the people who know you best and explain the basis of your beliefs. Start with one person who agrees and have them go out and do the same thing. Pretty soon the exponential power will bring you a flock as long as the dogma you put out is believable and aligned with the people you want to teach.

You need to have an interest that you know a lot of people share. Otherwise, you will be the only member!\n\nOnce you find an interest or activity, advertise in your local community.\n\nYou might start out with small meetings at your home or in a library. As your organization grows, you might start collecting dues to rent or buy a meeeting place.\n\nGood luck!

Just click the Start a Group button on any Yahoo! Groups page. It will walk you through a simple set-up process. At the end of the process, you'll have created your very own group! \n\nAll groups must be properly categorized. To categorize your group, simply browse or search your way through the Yahoo! Groups directory looking for the appropriate category in which to place your group. Look for categories that list similar groups or are specifically related to your subject. \n\nYour group will be listed in the Yahoo! Groups directory within a few days. Yahoo has a team of category editors, known as "surfers," that go through the Groups directory constantly. They may come across your group, and if they feel it was improperly categorized, they may move it to a more appropriate location.
