This program planning worksheet will detail the timeline and necessary requirements for the successful implementation and realization of goals and objectives as identified in worksheet two. It will closely center on resources needed and the timeline that can hypothetically kick-start the process and sustain it to the end. Gantt Charts and PERT Charts are some of the mechanisms through which managers present a timeline of activities concerning a project (Timmreck, 2003 , p. 156). Timmreck however feels that th above named mechanisms are complex and managers should avoid them if necessary. However, given the complexity of the project at hand, this worksheet will employ use of a vertical and horizontal logic program planning matrix in an effort to enhance specificity effectively presenting a detailed and high quality plan. According to Timmreck, a timeline should include a list of activities, define the activities that must take place first, and determine the time frame when each activity must take place (2003, p. 156). This approach is best suited for a detailed delivery of information in the context as the case may be (Singh, 2007, p. 31). Chambers reinforces the above view by alluding that the vertical and horizontal logic presentation is better since little information is left out (2005, p. 67). it is important to note that community wellbeing is the driving force behind all activities highlighted in the timeline below. According to Anderson & McFarlane, focus on the community is bound to improve community capacity to tackle their most pressing social issues (2010, p. 360).

It is important to note that most of the professionals involved in implementing this program are volunteers. Only teachers contracted by government will receive a stipend payment of $15 for every hour they participate in the program. The volunteer approach is especially beneficial, considering the initiative is community based. According to Kerzner (2005, p. 372), involving volunteers in community projects ensures a wider participation of the target group besides saving on the expenses of implementation. Involving volunteers also is best suited for this kind of initiative considering it falls along the line of humanitarian work (Potter, 2008, p. 171).

Additionally, it is worth noting that the time line for implementation of the program is not linear per se. some of the program will run concurrently depending on the end results that the program targets. The state and federal government as well as the city council will shoulder most of the financial responsibilities as need be.
