Volunteer Recruitment for Fall 2019
Many youth programs are already deeply involved in recruiting volunteers for the coming school year. Are you prepared? Do you need more ideas. Visit this page on the Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC web site and use the tips for recruiting volunteers.

Are your volunteers doing all they canto help kids in y our program move through school and into jobs and careers? Read about expanded role volunteers can take.click here
The Fund Raising Challenge
It takes 12 years for a youth to move from first grade to high school graduation and many more years beyond that before he/she is securely in a job and able to raise a family. Not all youth programs are designed to provide continued support for this many years. Not many donors provide flexible on-going funding to support such programs. Where are you talking about this?

How Are Youth Programs Telling Their Story?
Are you using Twitter? A Blog?
I created this graphic to draw attention to some of the Chicago youth tutor and/or mentor programs who were posting information on Twitter. Then I put it in a blog article to encourage others to do the same. See it in this article.click here

What if hundreds of people were doing what I am doing? Would that help draw volunteers and donors directly to more programs?

I've not written this newsletter since April due to my being laid up with an injury. I'm almost fully recovered and thank you for those who offered well-wishes.

While I try to send this only once a month, I write blog articles weekly. In each newsletter I post links to a few of the articles published in the past month or earlier.I encourage you to spend a little time each week reading these articles and following the links. Use the ideas and presentations in group discussions with other people who are concerned about the same issues.

Encourage friends, family, co-workers to sign up to receive this newsletter. Click here.
