September 18-19, 2008, Disneyland Resort, Anaheim, CA. I have not attended this event before, but I spoke to the California Mentor Foundation today and found out about their National Mentor Summit.

September 18-19, 2008, Disneyland Resort, Anaheim, CA. I have not attended this event before, but I spoke to the California Mentor Foundation today and found out about their National Mentor Summit. It is a gathering of elected officials, mentor coalition members, business leaders, mentor programs staff, educators, celebrities and youth. They celebrate the mentor movement, provide an environment for public policy development and offer training workshops for best practices in mentoring. Launched in 2001, the event was originally the California Mentor Summit.

Hi Nalini,<br />
<br />
Thanks for setting up this discussion group within the Tutor/Mentor Connection forum. My hope is that leaders from other big cities will do the same, and that we can then innovate ways to work together to get multi-state corporations, foundations, media, celebrities, etc. to use their time, talent and money to draw volunteers and dollars directly to each of the programs who are working in our cities to help kids.<br />

Hi Nalini,<br />
<br />
Thanks for setting up this discussion group within the Tutor/Mentor Connection forum. My hope is that leaders from other big cities will do the same, and that we can then innovate ways to work together to get multi-state corporations, foundations, media, celebrities, etc. to use their time, talent and money to draw volunteers and dollars directly to each of the programs who are working in our cities to help kids.<br />
<br />
As you know we use the <a href="http://www.tutormentorconnection.org/FindaProgram/ChicagoAreaProgramLinks/tabid/561/Default.aspx">Chicago Program Links</a> to enable volunteers and donors to find tutor/mentor programs in different parts of Chicago, and we've set up a <a href="http://www.tutormentorconnection.org/FindaProgram/LosAngelesTutorMentorProgramLinks/tabid/746/Default.aspx">LA Program Links</a> section that can do the same for programs in LA. As you add programs, or encourage them to add themselves, invite them to join your group, and create a profile for themselves and their program, so that they can contribute to the growth of this community, while also working with us and each other to help increase the flow of resources to themselves and everyone else connecting volunteers with inner city kids.<br />
<br />
As others join this group, I encourage you to browse the <a href="http://cmapspublic.ihmc.us/servlet/SBReadResourceServlet?rid=1180119458133_1566509717_34175&partName=htmltext">Library on the T/MC site</a>, to see the range of articles and information that you can use in supporting your own program, or of helping more tutor/mentor programs grow in your own community.<br />
<br />
I'll look forward to helping this group grow.<br />
<br />
