Dan and I talk about ways to break generation poverty in the community

This is my first time as a blogger so I may not have it right yet.  I was encouraged by Dan to participate and become familiar with it.  So here it goes although I don't have any experience yet.

As a non profit organization in the N. Lawndale area of Chicago.  I am concerned about the welfare of our youth and young adults.  Dan shared with me some very useful information on the ways that we can promote our community development and youth development.  We talked about youth in our…

Effective story telling - volunteers needed

I just read this article on the Stanford Social Innovation review and I'm guilty of leading with problem statements and scaring off people who might want to help.

Thus, my solution is to recruit volunteers who might help shape the messages in ways that don't…

You can provide mentoring through a volunteer program such as those sponsored by the National Mentoring Partnership, Tutor/Mentor Connection, The Boys & Girls Club, Read Aloud America, America’s Promise, the Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Foundation and many other…
