Tutor/Mentor Connection History and Tracking System (OHATS)

Since 2000 we have been documenting actions intended to help grow volunteer-based tutor/mentor programs in the Chicago region. These actions relate to

a) gathering and sharing information
b) increasing public awareness and the number who look at the information
c) increasing results for tutor/Mentor programs as a result of the first two steps
d) helping people understand and use the information (training & facilitation)
e) integrating technology in to these goals
f) creating events to help achieve these goals

View the Metrics pages at http://www.vattsystems.com/ohats/Home.aspx and you can see how we show the number of documented actions in each category.

I've set up a group on this ning.com page for discussion of the metrics charts. If you'd like to join the group let me know.

During the next six weeks people in the US and the world will be more generous than they are at any other part of the year. How can we combine our messages on this and other forums, so more donors are choosing non profits represented by members of this forum?

One way is to write a blog talking about what you do, and where you communicate your own message to the public. If you link to this forum on those blogs and Facebook pages, then the people you talk to in other forums will come here, and th… Continue

Excerpts from the Wall Street Journal:

"In response to the violence, Chief Executive Officer of Chicago Public Schools Ron Huberman last month announced a safety and security strategy that will target nearly 10,000 high-school students identified as at risk of becoming shooting victims. The project will connect some of them with mentors and part-time jobs in hopes of keeping the teens off… Continue
