Do any of you know of a Mastodon Instance where the focus is #youthdevelopment, #workforcedevelopment, #nonschoolhours #povertyreduction, #volunteering #philanthropy #tutormentor #youthmentoring #nonprofityouthorgs #youthProgramDesign #birthtowork

I have accounts on three Instances, but very few are posting information related to these hashtags.

I launched some #birthtowork ideas on the Bird site. I hope you'll boost them here. https://twitter.com/tutormentorteam/status/1688204409279262720?s=20

Better yet, read the articles, then take the lead in mobilizing people in your community to apply the strategies. #socialcapital #tutormentor #nonprofit

Good morning Mastodon. Are any of you talking about #youthdevelopment #birthtowork #workforcedevelopment #poverty #inequality #tutormentor #nonprofit or #maps?

Those are all related.

I've been on social media for past 13 years seeking others who are looking for all the things we need to do to help kids in high poverty areas of #Chicago & other cities move safely from #birthtowork

So far I don't find many having this conversation on Mastodon. Maybe a few more on Twitter.

If you're writing blog articles or creating visuals or videos with graphics like this, let's connect. https://tutormentor.blogspot.com/2021/06/mentoring-as-workforce-development.html

In this article I show #visualizations that I've been sharing for many years. The title is "Birth-to-Work Goal and Use of Knowledge Base". https://tutormentor.blogspot.com/2022/02/birth-to-work-goal-and-use-of-knowledge.html

I'd love to find more people (any people) on Mastodon talking about this and sharing their own graphic explanations.

I just shared a few of my #conceptmaps on Twitter. https://twitter.com/tutormentorteam/status/1632863571947159554?s=20

I wonder if I'll receive more likes & reTweets there than boosts and likes here.

It's not a competition to me. The goal is more people looking at these ideas and becoming strategically involved in helping kids in poverty areas move from #birthtowork.

It's a new week & as I scroll through my news feed I keep looking for others who focus on helping kids in high poverty areas move safely from #birthtowork

I've been sharing ideas and visualizing strategies on my #tutormentor blog since 2005. Here's one article. https://tutormentor.blogspot.com/2021/06/mentoring-as-workforce-development.html

Please boost and help me find others doing similar work.

On all of my social media platforms I'm looking for people who are asking "How can we do this better?"

What more can we do to help kids in high poverty areas move safely through school and into jobs and careers?

#youthdevelopment #birthtowork #tutormentor #nonprofit #Chicago

As you celebrate #mlkday think of actions you, your company, friends and local leaders can take to help kids from high poverty areas get on-going support that helps them move from #birthtowork.

This from #tutormentor article at https://tutormentor.blogspot.com/2022/02/birth-to-work-goal-and-use-of-knowledge.html

Who is creating visualizations like this for your community?

Do you live in one of the cities with areas of concentrated poverty, shown on this Brookings Metro map? See it at https://www.brookings.edu/events/helping-neighborhoods-reduce-poverty-without-displacement/

I point to it in this blog article. https://mappingforjustice.blogspot.com/2022/09/neighborhoods-of-concentrated-poverty.html

Does your city have an intermediary focused on helping #birthtowork youth orgs grow in these areas?

Feel free to borrow ideas from http://www.tutormentorexchange.net

This graphic visualizes what I've been trying to influence since starting Tutor/Mentor Connection in Chicago in 1993. It includes maps showing high poverty areas and timeline showing 12-16 years of on-going support that kids need.

It emphasizes need for regular, full funding, of orgs working to help kids from #birthtowork. See at https://tutormentor.blogspot.com/2021/03/want-to-make-difference-rethink.html

Many are describing the decentralized networking benefits of Mastodon. However, for those who are trying to solve a problem that requires involvement of many, for many years, is it supporting that purpose?

This graphic is part of a "vertical vs horizontal" network essay I wrote more than a decade ago. https://www.slideshare.net/tutormentor/understanding-difference-between-vertical-and-horizontal-networks

I use social media to gather and share ideas and find others who focus on helping kids in poverty move from #birthtowork.

I hope I can find others with same goal.
