The CWS Pillar Implementation Worksheet takes you from brainstorm to structure. It walks through all four pillars of the Community Welfare System with real examples from groups doing this work, so you can see how others approached the same decisions in front of you.
This version is deeper in both analysis and reflection. With 13 pages, inside you'll find:
Two paths. Build from scratch, or strengthen an organization or effort that already runs. Existing organizations get an audit section under every pillar to look at what they have before adding anything.
Shared Leadership with the Community Review Circle, written SOPs for every role, rotating terms, and quarterly transparency check-ins
How Your Pool Runs, a structure page for deciding who can request support, who approves it, how need is confirmed, and what you report back to your community
Define Your Program, for setting clear eligibility, scope, review cycles, and funding that fits your group's values
Your Participation Pathway, which maps how someone moves from first contact to regular involvement to leadership
Your Structure at a Glance, a one-page summary to bring to your next meeting or share with a supporter
A Capacity and Honesty Check about your own time, energy, strengths, and limits, and Your First Step for the next 30 days
The worksheet is fillable as a PDF, so you can type directly into it or print it and work through it by hand with your group.
