Help take Take Tutor/Mentor Connection into Second Life and Blog Exchange
By @ 2:05 PM :: 1698 Views ::  :: Advocacy, T/MC |  |
We are hosting a Tutor/Mentor Leadership Conference in Chicago on Nov.
30 and you can review its goals athttp://www.tutormentorconference.bigstep.com. I've posted messages in
various forums to recruit bloggers who will blog about the conference
topics during December, with a goal of creating a larger network, a
greater understanding, while influencing year-end donors to seek out
tutor/mentor programs in Chicago and other cities for holiday and
year-end contributions.
I'd like to find volunteers who might take this message into Second
Life. These volunteers could be people already involved with
tutoring/mentoring, or people who want to learn to use Second Life to
support a cause.
If anyone is interested in taking on this role, or if you're already doing it, please introduce yourself to me by email or by posting your web address on my blog.
You can also add your blog address to the Links section.
The goal is not to help one single tutor/mentor program in one
neighborhood of a big city get the resources it needs, but to help
every volunteer-based tutor/mentor program, in every high poverty area,
get a more consistent flow of the resources they need to grow from good
to great in helping kids who live in educationally and economically
disadvantaged environments. |
