ok. so the background:
About 3 years ago me, my sister, and a neighbor started a charity called first star. We have been on the news a few times and gained tremendous support. It really showed me that you can make a difference, expecially since i was only a 12 year old girl at the time. (my sister and neighbor were only 10) now they are 13 and i am 15. Our work has been slowly diminishing for the past few months, and im looking for ideas on how to gain new members and more support. We are trying to hold weekly meetings, but with only 5 or so members, its been hard.
With only 4 members, in one summer alone we had made nearly 3000 dollars, (to buy a handicap bike) and recieved donations of stuffed animals for all over the country to bring to children at local hospitals and rehab centers.

Any advice on how to get this off the ground again?

you have to be really organized if you want to get to high places..so start off by creating a main goal (if you haven't already) for your charity. I'm actually curious as to what it is. What do you reach out, or what do you want to reach out to, most? Most teens want to do charity work because it looks good on college apps and some may need it for school clubs so you should really advertise it- advertise it in your school too. you can even start a club at your school, having your charity be the center. But most of all, make it fun and always have projects and different ideas always being generated.. that way the meetings won't get stale/old and your members will MAKE time to go to your meetings.
