The next Tutor/Mentor Leadership and Networking Conference is Nov. 19 and 20 at Northwestern University in Chicago. I encourage you to visit the web site and connect with people who will be attending, even if you cannot be there in person. Please ...
Below is a map that shows the different types of research in the links section of the Tutor/Mentor Connection web site. I feel that as we reach out to people we need to point them to information that they can use for their own learning. As more pe...
Julia,
Do you work for the board, or does the board volunteer to help you? Does your organization involved volunteers in the garden project? Are they people who are telling other people about what you are doing and helping you recruit donors?

Kids Hope USA and others of interest
Hi Debra and friends,
I saw an article in my Chicago SunTimes yesterday titled "Mentors from Churches tutor students". It was written by Betsy Hart, who hosts a blog, radio show, news columns, etc. In this article she was pointing to a group called Kids Hope USA, based out of Michigan.
I might have heard about this group in the past, but have had no contact. This illustrates that there are many different mentoring and… Continue

I combine 40 years of unique experiences into my leadership of a non profit based in Chicago, called Cabrini Connections, Tutor/Mentor Connection. Few people in the US have a similar depth of involvement and experiences.

- Dan, the Ning team got back to me with a modification for Groups. When you get a minute see if you can see the option on your home page either on the left-hand column or by clicking on the Groups tab at the top. Thanks!

Abdiel Kude said… - Of course Dan. You make things look so easy. And I think I like what I'm seeing on NICE. Prime Initiative is about to undergo some changes about which I would update you in the coming week. It really is nice knowing that you have been in this line of activity since 1972. Talk about focus and steadfastness. that is quite a challenge.

- Dan, I'm still working with Ning on the group functionality. I did find a problem with their instructions which they acknowledged. Hopefully this will be resolved soon since I'd really like to catch people's info when they first sign up. BTW, there's a new member who apparently found this forum through you on Plaxo ... from Calif. Thank you!

- Dan, I 've sent a question to the help desk on this. I've checked their help file and I've tried checking and unchecking to get it to work for members. I will hopefully have an answer within a day. I'm at a conference all day tomorrow and part of Saturday so I may not get back to this til Sat pm. Thanks for your patience!

- Dan, When you click on the "Groups" tab at the top, what do you see on the screen? It should show you a rather plain looking page but does it have an "Edit" link to click on? That link should take you to the group screen fields ... at least that's what I'm seeing. I've check the permissions and I've allowed for group creation by all members so not sure what else to change at this point.

- Dan, if you can see the "Add a Group" feature on your profile page, you might want to go ahead and put in the info for Cabrini and Tutor-Mentor to list it , as one group or separately, on this Forum site. I'd like to start building a group reference list for those visiting so it's easy to find you once the mentoring discussion dies down and other topics ensue. If that feature isn't showing up for you, please let me know. Thanks!
