Looking Ahead

Hope everyone is well! Applications for next year have been rolling in here at the national office. Those of you who are leaving after this service year are going to be tough to replace. ):

This past Monday we had a small phone conference. Some topics we talked about were recruitment, keeping volunteer mentors engaged, orientations, background checks and screening, and personal goals for the next two much. Thanks to all who participated! We'll plan another one in about a month.

March has flown by - Monthly Report time
Due: April 5th

Right now a webcast on re-entry is going on:
http://www.nationalreentryresourcecenter.org/
Usually they keep links up, so hopefully if you're interested, you'll be able to watch it later... Many of you may be interested in the Juvenile Mentoring and Juvenile Reentry.


PS-
You might be interested in this Webinar on Monday.

Welcome

Across the country, we see the effects incarceration has on families, and especially on children.

This blog was created as a discussion forum for AmeriCorps Members working on mentoring programs for children of incarcerated parents across the country.

It is so valuable to hear about the similarities and differences, successes and challenges, and inspirations and frustrations we have encountered serving children, families, and mentors.

I hope this blog will connect us by providing a space for discussion, questions and answers, and inspiration as we work with a common mission in different programs in different places.

Please share...
