It looks like to begin answering this question, you must first consider what your community is in need of. Think about ways that your community is lacking in resources (homelessness, poverty, cleanliness, etc.) and consider how you can fix or even eradicate that issue. The questions posed can be broken up into categories if you look closely: health, welfare, promotion and management. For example, let's use an example that already exists so that you can create your own. Let's focus on free breakfast programs in schools. The category of focus is on education and poverty.
- What the product, service or program will do to promote health.
- The program promotes health by ensuring that all students have access to food.
- How the product, service or program fills a gap in your community.
- The program provides services to families who cannot afford to get breakfast for their kids or who struggle to make ends meet. Again, your focus here should be on poverty since that is the main concern of this program.
- How the product, service or program would work within your community.
- Schools work with their respective school districts to get the money and resources necessary to have this program within their schools. Typically, it is a need based program so a school would need to prove there students need this program with demographics of there population.
- Why the product, service or program is needed in your community.
- **For this question, I would pull real demographics of my community to prove that the program is needed.
- How the product, service or program would support others in achieving their own wellness goals.
- Most importantly, this program provides nutrition to students. If students do not start the day with good nutrition, they will not preform well at school/life.
- How you would help promote this product, service or program in your community?
- This program can be promoted to schools during district wide meetings. It can be promoted to families during open house nights at the schools, and it can be promoted within schools to the students through weekly newsletters and announcements.
- I feel that it is important to make sure that your touch on all the benefactors of the product/ program for this question.
- What current services and/or people in your community would most likely support you in advocating for this product, service or program? Think about public health partners here.
- For this question, consider who is the closest "higher" up that you have access to. If it is your local congress person, you can email or call them. If it is the super intendent, you can set up a meeting. Think big for this question.
Hopefully, my sample answers help you to answer your own question with your own product/program.
