Strategies for recruiting v... by Daniel F. Bassill

While this focuses on helping individual programs recruit volunteers, my efforts have aimed to motivate businesses, professional groups, sports teams and others to use their media to mobilize volunteers, and donors, to support youth tutor/mentor and learning programs in every high poverty area of Chicago and other cities. Below is a PDF essay I title "Virtual Corporate Office".
   

Virtual Corporate Office: S... by Daniel F. Bassill

I worked at the Chicago headquarters office of the Montgomery Ward corporation from 1973 to 1990 and learned how functional teams, including retail advertising, worked to help all 400 of our stores be the best they could be at serving customers and attracting them with creative advertising and sales promotion.

Imagine if the talent of big and small businesses, universities, faith groups, sports and entertainment, professions, etc. were all working to fill high poverty areas of Chicago and other places with mentor-rich school and non-school programs that expand the network of adults and learning opportunities, helping more kids move safely through school into adult lives.

Please read and  share these with your network. Build the support systems I describe.
