I'm trying to figure out what is the best way of getting this business started. My plan is to open a non-profit business for teen moms ages 14-23 to assist them with help with educational skills, training for the work force, home skills so that they no how to feed thier children the proper meals, clothing to go on job interviews. Right now i just need to know how to put my ideas together so that they fit on paper like they do in my head. I have the thought process going i just don't know how to put in on paper. So right now if you are reading this can you assist me with some help.

First, pay your dues and learn a business. Also,start out small. This is my
opinion.

You definitely need a business plan well before you need a marketing plan.
You can also include the marketing plan in the business plan.

Starting a non-profit requires approval from the IRS. The process takes time
and there is a cost involved. Your best bet is to contact a counselor at a
small business development center, womens business center or a SCORE office
in your area. Their services are free and a counselor can talk through your
ideas and help you develop your business plan and apply for the necessary
non-profit status. Good luck.

A business plan is an essential roadmap for business success. This living document generally projects 3-5 years ahead and outlines the route a company intends to take to grow revenues. Check out the new business plan tool to get started.

You must have marketing plan, i think you should use 4P in Marketing Mix. Good luck! This post was edited to remove a link. Please review our Community Best Practices for more information about how best to participate in our online discussions. Thank you.
