I want to start a Babysitters Club much like the books, how do I go about it?

oookkk. I want to start in my area a Babysitters Club for middle schoolers and high schoolers. It'll be also like mentoring program, and a tutoring program. We'll take trips, do fundraisers, etc., while providing a service for parents. I was initially gonna start it within the military families in my area, and my local church...Here is how I was gonna start it...

- Every new member will recieve a Babysitters kit (made by me)which includes, a tell-all book, info, Kid Kit, etc

-Initally membership is $10.00, which goes to CPR and First Aid certification and babysitting course by Red Cross.

-We will have meetings 2 times a month, and when we have meetings we talk about new business, making of flyers, redoing Kid Kits, creating t-shirts, planning of trips, fundraisers, or more fun babysitting courses, sharing experience, etc, and eating...lol...

-It is for ages 11-18, although, age 11 and 12 will not be babysitting they will be Junior babysitters, and will either accompany "Babysitters, and Senior Babysitters". Babysitters are the 13-15 and the "senior Babysitters" are "16-18"

-The meetings will last 1 hour - 1/2. The last 30 minutes is when parents can contact the "Babysitters Club" to set up babysitting, or tutoring services. Prospective Parents can also sit in on the meetings and see how we run it, and at the end request services.

I was wondering if this sounds good, and also how to run the money thing. I was plannign on having the babysitters KEEP the money, and MAYBE pay maybe 2-5 dollars to the club, depending on how much they made, when they come to the meetings. BUT, I dont know....

Also, I want to do something where the members can run for President, Vice President, Treasurer, etc...but should I do that?

Does any of this sound good, or any one have any ideas? Would you join it? I'm preparing to call my local youth service center and ask to make one, but I wanted to know what ya'll think, and would ya'll either join or call! lol///THANKS!!
thanks girls...I was wondering, if everythiing sounded about right...lol...anyone else?

1. Yeah it sounds like you've thought most of it through. And yeah you should have a president and stuff but only if you have enough people. Other than that it sounds good. Good luck! =]

2. I think it's a good idea. I always considered doing that but I could never get enough people to help. Research ways to make everything work out. Also, you could go to a local daycare and ask how they manage everything just to get an idea of what to do.
