RE:

Managing

Mentors,

Tutors and Other Volunteers

 

The Governor’s Mentoring Initiative and the Florida Association of PARTNERS in

EDUCATION are pleased to offer regional workshops to assist Florida’s schools in

managing community volunteers who mentor and tutor students.

Many Florida districts

provide annual training for coordinators of volunteers, mentors and tutors. This is

an opportunity for schools who have not received this training or for those who

desire a refresher course

. District and school coordinators of volunteer programs,

coordinators of mentoring and tutoring programs in schools and managers of community

based mentoring programs are invited to participate in whichever workshop is closest or

most convenient.

 

These fun, interactive workshops provide participants with a comprehensive toolkit that

includes a manual and CD to assist those who coordinate volunteers, mentors and tutors.

The emphasis of the workshops will be focused on developing critical management,

recruitment, training, recognition and evaluation strategies. School district personnel

who have implemented the toolkit report their programs are more successful. Trainings

will provide opportunities for networking and sharing with other coordinators in the

Region.

 

These half-day workshops will be held around the state from October 29– November 15,

2002. Lunch will be provided. Fax the attached registration form to the regional

workshop coordinator by October 23. A confirmation of your registration will be faxed

to you.
