The National Mentoring Center has just released the latest issue of the NMC Bulletin. This issue features an interview with prominent mentoring researchers Dr. David Dubois and Dr. Michael Karcher, whose Handbook of Youth Mentoring is redefining what we know, and don't know, about the practice of mentoring youth.
The issue also features tips from nonprofit guru Craig Bowman on how to develop a positive fundraising mindset that can help your agency get over the fear and anxiety of asking for support. <BR><BR>The issue can be downloaded on the NMC website at http://www.nwrel.org/mentoring/bulletins.htmlComment from Dan Bassill, President of Tutor/Mentor Connection, 9/10/05The challenge to mentoring advocates throughout the country will be to find ways to increase the number of people who use the research in this book to build and sustain effective mentoring programs in all of the places where they are needed. The goal of the Tutor/Mentor Connection (T/MC) has been to help build more effective programs and I'd like to find ways to work with researchers to innovate ways to turn books like this into curriculum that can not only help existing programs improve, but can be the core of a 4-6 year degree/certificate program at one or more universities where people learn this information systematically before they enter the field. To me, this represents one of the important Tipping Points , which if addressed, could dramatically improve the availability and quality of volunteer based tutoring/mentoring all over the world. If you would like to join with the T/MC in innovating ways to implement such a learning system and recruit one or more universities as partners, join this discussion in the Evalution Section of the Discussion Forum.
Note: Talk about this book in the Evaluation Section of the Discussion Forum. |
