DISTRICT OFFICES
In all but the smallest of states, the SCF State/Regional Partner will need to establish several district offices that will be responsible for implementing the SCF in their district.
Each district office will participate in statewide planning efforts, in conjunction with the State UNA, the SP/RPs and the other district offices, to ensure there is a coordinated statewide implementation of the SCF. Wherever possible, a district office will be located close to a college campus, as we anticipate that college students will be a prime source of early adopters, and will help launch and administer local offices. (see this document about college student involvement.)
DISTRICT OFFICE ACTIVITIES
- Implementation will normally include, but not be limited to:
- Promoting the adoption of the SCF program in their district.
- Establishing an incubation/acceleration/workforce development center.
- Administering various grant programs for non-profits, local governments, students, teachers, and any other recipients.
- Recruiting participants to sign up and be part of the SCF ecosystem by establishing a complementary currency bank account and using it in everyday transactions, including buying and selling goods and services on that state’s marketplace. Those participants include:
- Individuals
- College students
- Teachers
- For-profit businesses
- Not-for-profit organizations (including non-profits and local governments)
- Social media affiliates
- Providing technical, administrative and all other forms of support to the public in its use of the SCF system..
