I'm pretty inexperienced and not part of a guild so I'm honestly not sure what would work in your setup, but have you considered connecting with a local school's home economics or art teacher, a girl guide or scout leader, or a community center that runs programs for kids? Years ago, I introduced a group of my students to quilting by bringing in some precut squares and helping them to make simple 4- or 9-patch blocks. We were really limited for time, but a few of the kids managed to complete small projects. I could imagine that at a meeting it might be fun for groups of quilters to come up with simple projects and create little kits or instructions that could be shared with these types of groups. It could even go over a couple of meetings if you have a planning session and then another meeting to put the kits together and/or arrange for distribution. Just a kernel of an idea, but I hope there might be something useful in there for you. :-)
