What all would it take to open a Teen Crisis Center?

this is not a small biz, sorry every city/coutny in the US has one

Nice, very good idea. A teen crisis center can begin with little or no money as it can begin from someone's home. If you are under-age I would speak to your parents about the idea to get their approval and help. But if you are planning on opening one I would speak to your city hall and get to the City Business center (They usually provide free help and consultation.) If you need to do it yourself because of the costs that could come about then you would need to start small; a telephone line, a simple website (Wordpress.com, blogspot.com, and others are free you'd just have to figure out how.), and business cards which you can get for less than $15 from vistaprint.com or others. As for funding this can be done in a few different ways. You can directly solicit funds from people you know once you have things in place. You can also go to local stores, or local businesses and seek donations. Flyers mailed, using your school to raise both awareness and donations... As I said it does not take much to begin ~ Does take a lot of patience and ingenuity. Feel free to contact me if you are serious about this. You seem to have a very good awareness of your community. Great Thinking
