In 2016 I enjoyed an in-depth conversation w a few Facebook friends about solving #complexproblems.

I annotated that in this post on the #Tutor #Mentor blog. https://tutormentor.blogspot.com/2016/03/net-casting-complex-problems-connecting.html

Take a look!

I just hit my 500 mentorship minutes milestone!

I really enjoying talking with Tech and User Experience professionals about where they are in their job and career, and helping them with defining their own path.

There are still over 200,000 economically disadvantaged kids in Chicago Public Schools. In 1994 that number was closer to 240k. There's still a great need for organized, volunteer-based #tutor #mentor & learning programs in all of the high poverty areas.

That's my new article. https://tutormentor.blogspot.com/2023/09/how-many-tutormentor-programs-are.html

@tomliacas

Thanks for sharing the article & congratulations on your good work.

The knowledge network you are building has many traits of what I started to build in #Chicago in 1993 to help youth #tutor #mentor programs grow in high poverty areas.

This #conceptmap shows a 4-part strategy that I've piloted. I think you're doing much of the same. http://tinyurl.com/TMI-4-Pt-Strategy

I added a link to your article in this section of my library. https://tutormentorexchange.net/resource-links/collaboration-process-improvement/collaboration-community-building

I hope you all enjoy this #LaborDay.

I've posted Labor Day articles on my #tutor #mentor blog often since starting the blog in 2005. Skim the collection and see what I've been focusing on. https://tutormentor.blogspot.com/search?q=Labor+Day

If you're a volunteer with a youth serving organization that works with kids living in high poverty areas please use the resources to deepen your understanding of why you're needed and ways you can help.

If you know others who volunteer, share my blog with them.

Happy #LaborDay to all who are at your computers trying to make and improve connections with others.

I've posted articles on my #tutor #mentor blog with the Labor Day theme almost every years since I started my blog in 2005. Scroll this link and see what I've been writing. https://tutormentor.blogspot.com/search?q=Labor+Day

I've been trying to help youth orgs attract workplace volunteers since 1993 with the goal that those volunteers learn from their involvement and then get others involved.

I understand the negatives that are growing on the Bird site, but it's still the only place where I can build a list of #Chicago youth #tutor #mentor programs and use my posts to try to draw attention, volunteers & donors to each of them. https://twitter.com/i/lists/1276149804511506434

Many of these #nonprofit orgs post on LinkedIn, FB & Instagram. Few yet on Mastodon. The other platforms don't have list feature like Bird site.

So I keep using it.

@taylorlorenz

I maintain a list with links to #Chicago youth #tutor #mentor programs at https://tutormentorexchange.net/chicago-area-program-links and hope many people follow your example and visit their websites to see what they do, and how they can help.

For technologists and writers that could mean helping #NPO orgs tell their stories more effectively on their websites.

It's the last Friday of August. School has started. Volunteer-based #tutor #mentor & learning programs are reaching out to recruit #volunteers, students & donors.

I hosts lists of #Chicago youth programs at http://www.tutormentorexchange.net and point to where you can find them on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

The goal is to help people find and support programs throughout the Chicago area, not just one program.

Who hosts a similar set of lists for your city?

I wrote this Letter to the Editor in August 2013. The message still applies in August 2023 as school is starting and volunteer-based #tutor #mentor programs are recruiting kids and adults. Read this at https://tutormentorexchange.net/images/PDF/crains8-12-13.pdf

The right mentors can make all the difference in the world

School is starting soon and volunteer based #tutor #mentor & learning programs in #Chicago & other places are all looking for #volunteers (and donors).

My blog article shares a list of Chicago organizations that you can help. It's also an example of blogs that you should find in every city.

Read and share..

Popularity does not equal: should be a #mentor.

I often look at #tutor #mentor blog articles that I wrote in the past and find that they are saying the same things I'm saying today, often better.

So I share those posts on social media and then create a new article on my blog that points to them.

This is a circular form of network building. I posted this today, pointing to 2005 and 2006 articles. https://tutormentor.blogspot.com/2023/08/i-wrote-this-in-2005-still-applies.html

So I'm taking Thursday and Friday off because of how fatigued I feel. I foresee this becoming a regular occurrence until I can find my way to another job because the Autistic burnout is getting stronger.

I wish I could find a mentor, especially for something like technical and/or UX writing. It seems everybody I reach out to is also burnt out.

I shared this on Twitter today as I have done often since the graphic was created by an intern from South Korea in the late 2000s.

It visualizes the goal of drawing needed resources to #volunteer-based youth #tutor #mentor & Learning programs in every high poverty area of #chicago

I encourage people in other places to create their own versions of my articles, w #maps of their own city.
