Profile description of your company: The mission of The Launch Pad Teen Center is to incite teen confidence and empowerment through innovative community education and engagement. The Launch Pad is a youth driven and focused space, providing programming that is culturally relevant to teens in Yavapai County. Our teen leadership board is the backbone of our organization, consistently holding the teen center accountable to the youth it serves. We believe that youth are powerful agents for change in their own lives and in the lives of others, we believe they are the experts of their own lived experiences, and that the best way to serve youth is through love, compassion, and stability, with a deep respect and belief in their own capacity to be powerful members of our community.

Pet of the Month

Yavapai Humane Society

Hi, my name is Luna and I’m a two-year-old pit bull mix looking for my forever home at Yavapai Humane Society. What should you know about me? I love all people! Try giving me scratches…I swear, I will melt! I am a goof ball who loves toys and still has the heart of a puppy at age 2. I can always use a good walk (who can't?) and an owner with some dog experience. I’m a champ at "sit" and love to play dress up. I’m a pewter princess and I’ll admit I’m a little selfish…I want a home all to herself. No other dogs or cats please. Call 928-445-2666 to ask for a meet and greet and talk to the dog behaviorists at YHS about my sterling silver qualities!

Shop Prescot: Start Here


















 

Summary
The City of Prescott, the Prescott Chamber of Commerce and partnering organizations recognize the importance of supporting locally based brick and mortar businesses.   Therefore we have launched Shop Prescott:  Start Here, a campaign designed to educate the public about the importance of supporting local businesses every day.  Shop Prescott:  Start Here is launching in October 2017, and will be ongoing.  This is a Prescott-wide initiative that is supported by a number of organizations, and includes every business.
WHAT:  Shop Prescott: Start Here is a campaign to education the public about the importance of supporting local brick and mortar businesses of all varieties.
WHY:  Shop Prescott: Start Here  was launched because local brick and mortar businesses have made a significant investment in our community, and are impacted by online businesses that extract money from the local economy and leave little behind.  It’s time to stand up for them, and invite our residents and visitors to do the same.
WHEN:  Shop Prescott: Start Here was launched in October 2017.  We are launching now in time for the holidays, but this will be a 24/7/365 campaign.
HOW:  Shop Prescott: Start Here will educate the public in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to:
  • Window displays in local businesses
  • Signs and banners throughout Prescott.
  • Press releases, media alerts and radio public service announcements.
  • Website and social media activities.
  • Speakers bureau going out to service clubs, schools, business organizations, and meetings.
WHO AND WHERE:  Shop Prescott: Start Here is a city-wide initiative. It is designed to include ALL brick and mortar businesses, from boutique stores to restaurants, hotels, dealerships, educational institutions, and service businesses.
OTHER FACTS:
  • There are over 10,000 businesses in Prescott that have invested in our community.
  • Every dollar spent locally recirculates several times, it’s called the multiplier effect.
  • Local businesses create local jobs, donate to local causes, and create tax revenue to support high-quality public services and schools for Prescott.
  • COMING SOON:  ShopPrescott.net
For more information, Contact: 
Prescott Chamber of Commerce 928-445-2000  OR  City of Prescott Communications Office at 928-777-1362.
