Next Step Campaign

In anticipation of DIAL/SELF's 35th anniversary in 2012, the agency has launched the Next Step Campaign as a way to better inform area residents of DIAL/SELF's service to the region. One of the Campaign's tools is the Virtual Tour of DIAL/SELF which is described on the home page of this site.

In addition, the Campaign offered the unique opportunity for good friends of the agency to show their support at the 2011 DIAL/SELF Next Step Breakfast held on June 15th at the Stoneleigh-Burnham School in Greenfield. At this event, invited guests listened to current and former program participants describe how DIAL/SELF has impacted their lives. This was a rare opportunity for donors to meet with both youth and adults whom DIAL/SELF has served over the past 3 decades. The hour long event included a light buffet breakfast and several speakers with inspiring stories to tell. A total of $15,000 in gifts and pledges was donated to the agency.

"Every county should be offering the kind of programs, to teens (11-21) that DIAL/SELF offers: Affordable housing for teens in need and emergency housing for teens in distress - many, many on-going education and mentoring programs that teach teens  'How to live and work on your own' skills - counseling - support - with many individual sites throughout Franklin County, I recently took the DIAL/SELF "virtual tour" with Phil and David and I was amazed to learn that:  There is only one DIAL/SELF and that it is unique to Franklin County. We are all so lucky to have DIAL/SELF programs for "teens in need" in Greenfield"
