Benchmarks and Reporting

Hope you have had a wonderful week!

Highlights: successes, monthly report (Due Oct. 2), September benchmarks, enrolling children, another movie.

I've heard from a number of CHIP Program starters about successes:

- Jessica in Baltimore has conducted some mentor and child interviews

- Kemi in Apopka brought in someone to do fingerprinting for prospective mentors

- Shanelle in New Orleans is working with a school social worker to enroll children in the program

- Deloris in Pine Apple has met with prospective mentors and pitched the program to the community

- Jim in Cincinnati has connected with a local mentoring program to see how they can partner

- Lisa in Dayton has been meeting with community members

GREAT JOB EVERYONE!

I know you are all accountable for reporting qualitative stories and quantitative numbers to your site directors, but I'm excited about getting data first hand so I have a better idea of what's going on at your sites through CHIP Monthly Report:

Please submit it by October 2nd (I know some of you have paper monthly reports - you can send those in on October 2nd)

Upcoming Benchmarks:

By the end of September you should have:

-recruited 3-5 children

-recruited 3-5 mentors

-made 2 mentoring matches

*Talk to me if you are having problems meeting any of these goals

*Let me know if you have any questions about screening and enrolling mentors or children.

And last -

Another Movie:

-The Pact http://www.thepactthemovie.com/ (supposed to be good - I haven't seen it, but one of our local mentor networking organizations is screening it next month)

I look forward to reading your MONTHLY REPORTS with your September Stories and Data .

Talk to you soon.
