I created this graphic in the 1990s to illustrate how volunteers who become deeply involved in volunteer-based tutor/mentor programs often become evangelists who reach into their personal, family, business and faith networks to get more people involved. I've suggested that if this were a strategy at more programs it could lead to greater on-going support for all tutor/mentor programs in Chicago and other cities.
Last week I posted a blog with a volunteer-growth strategy map. See it here.
I have been inspired to use Thinglink and similar tools by educators I've met over the past five years who are part of a Connected Learning #clmooc. Below is a version of the featured graphic from last week's blog article, using Thinglink to focus on the four elements of the graphic.
Visit this page and follow the links to where #clmooc members meet on various social media platforms. Leaders, volunteers and students in tutor, mentor and learning programs could be following this group the same way I do and could be creating their own visualizations to show the strategies of their own programs.
At some point in the future you should see a version of this on a growing number of Chicago and national tutor/mentor program web sites if enough people share this article with people involved in these programs.
Try it. Then share what you've created.
