Bring Yes4Us into schools, community groups, and local organizations
Lead with something useful first: a free pilot workshop, a community class, or volunteer support that helps a partner see the value before asking for a longer series.
Start with community value, not a hard sale
These are easy-entry offers for Madison-area schools, senior programs, youth groups, community centers, wellness fairs, and partner events.
Free 30-minute youth intro workshop
Confidence, focus, respect, and anti-bullying language for youth groups and school programs.
Teen or adult self-defense seminar
Safety awareness, boundary-setting, and basic defense for practical everyday situations.
Senior fitness and mobility class
Balance, coordination, posture, and gentle strength in a beginner-friendly format.
Volunteer support
Instructors helping with family nights, youth programming, wellness fairs, or partner events.
Paid 4-week series after the pilot
Once trust is built, propose a recurring workshop series or a registration split structure.
Resource follow-through
Give partner organizations article links and practice guides they can share after the session.
Short outreach script
Subject: Free youth/self-defense or senior fitness workshop partnership\n\nHi [Name],\n\nMy name is Alex Gillis, and I’m helping Yes4Us Martial Arts School connect with community partners in Madison. We’d love to support your programs with a free introductory workshop for your members.\n\nWe can offer options like youth anti-bullying/confidence, teen or adult self-defense, beginner fitness, or gentle senior mobility. Our goal is to be useful to your community first, and then explore whether a recurring workshop or class series makes sense.\n\nWould you be open to a quick 15-minute call next week?\n\nThank you,
