Hi Nancy, thanks for following up my Twitter message and coming over to this site. If you skim the blog articles and visit the groups sections you can see how volunteers and interns have been spending time getting to know the Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC and then are creating their own interpretations of the information I have been sharing. I think students in many places could be doing this as part of the process of learning and in a role of drawing attention to needs of youth in high poverty areas. Getting a lot of people to interact on forums like this has been difficult. I hope you can help.
