At this link we're archiving speaker/agenda pages from past conferences. You can see Nov. 2010 here.

This is the link to the Indianapolis Summit. Carrie Harris was the organizer. She was at the conference in Chicago last week. Her husband Nate is our contact at IUPUI.

We have offered the Chicago conference every six months since 1994, but never have covered the costs with sponsorships or fees. We're not going to be able to do this again in 2011 unless we can raise at least $25,000 by mid January to cover the staff/planning/facilities expenses.

Hi Wendell. Thanks for joining us. I've been working with folks from IUPUI for over 10 years and was a speaker at a Mentoring Conference there in August. As you look at all the sections of this site, imagine if students from Indianapolis high schools and Indiana universities were creating some of this information, and were using it to mobilize resources to support mentor-rich programs in Indianapolis, Hammond, Ft. Wayne and other cities.

That's the goal. I hope you'll take an active role in helping it become a reality.

About Me:

I've been involved in tutoring/mentoring all my life. My associations are: Boy Scouts; Big Brothers/Big Sisters; Boys and Girls Clubs; Church Youth. I have a BS in Youth Agency Adminstration from The U. of Indianapolis. Now I'm a K-8 Tutor for Indianapolis Public Schools through the Near Eastside Community Organization (NESCO). I am starting classes at IVY Tech in Human Services.

What do you hope to learn, or share, on this forum?

Always looking to share ideas/suggestions on what works and what doesn't. This is the 21st Century, and what used to work doesn't necessarly work now. Like this is the computer generation. Getting kids to read books is an uphill struggle. I know, I used to work part time for the public library.
