NUSEA works with local leaders to help launch programs in cities that we believe can sustain and grow strong organizations over time. NUSEA provides support by:

• Helping form partnerships with local schools and squash facilities

• Hiring the executive director and other staff

• Assisting startups to build an engaged and committed Board of Directors and donor-base, and to raise their first year’s operating budget

• Contributing, in select instances, challenge grants to help finance startups

• Traveling to startup cities to provide on the ground consultation

• Connecting startup programs to NUSEA’s network of established programs to share ideas and best practices

 

NUSEA is currently working to launch the Wilmington, Delaware-based program First State Squash in the fall of 2016.
