Within the Resource Library on this web site there are more than 2000 links. Each of these has links to many other sites. This is a worldwide network of people and organizations with common interests. From 1994 to 2015 we used May and November Chicago Conferences, and a variety of on-line forums, to build connections between these different groups, and to create public awareness that draws more viewers to each web site, and draws volunteers and donors to youth serving organizations in Chicago and in other cities. Since 2015 social media platforms, such as BlueSky, Instagram, Mastodon, Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin, have served this purpose.
