Us: Why do you like TVM? Scholars: Because there’s no boringness! In TVM, Mahea Gaskins has all the scholars say “We are allergic to boring!” Our method of family #engagement attracts parents to be involved in their child’s learning experience. This creates the bridge to then engage families in the #school and #community. That’s the goal! Research has proven that when parents are more active and engaged with their child’s academic journey…the behavior, attendance and grades improve as well. This is just one of the differences that partnering with a full-service community building organization provides.

"Educated kids make educated decisions." That’s why we partner with schools and our community of caring neighbors like you to help kids to succeed in school and in life.    Watch as Rene Gellerman, our President & CEO, shares with Johnny Marx the thinking behind our United for Schools initiative – to unite community resources and volunteers to help kids early on, to help them unlock brighter futures for themselves.   And, the results speak for themselves. Dive deeper here: https://lnkd.in/gXpwEqV3

There are two things that I'd give to kids if I had children of my own. 1) a good education. Having a good education with additional extras like a love of reading (turn that TV off! ) and investments into educational activities 2) A positive attitude with lots of praise and accountability. When you instill your kids with a postive mental and emotional attitude as with lots of praise and the expectation to have accountability then you know that no matter what life tosses in their way they'll have the ability to find a positive solution to the problem as well as being accountable for whatever they say and do. 3) maybe a third thing is the obligation and choice to contribute in any way to help other and their community and not think only of themselves and what they can gain. Joining Scouts Canada, or Military/Police cadets, volunteering in the community and helping their neighbours or for events at school teaches them responsibility, accountability and helps them to show compassion for others. Thats how I try to live my life today and set an example for others to see and learn from.

Community advisory councils are often required (by funders or government regulators), or added on when projects don't achieve expected outcomes. Having a highly effective community engagement model is rare and difficult to accomplish. Here's one example of several stakeholders coming together to make it happen.

A majority of the support received by newcomers in recovery is given completely on a volunteer basis by dedicated individuals in the rooms of recovery fellowships. Service work creates volunteers who are dedicated to their own sobriety and to the sobriety of others. We would be remiss not to recognize and thank both these individuals IN recovery, and ALL those who help us at Fellowship Hall through our many events. From our Walk for Recovery, to the Golf Tournament, to the Conference—we wouldn’t be able to do what we do without you all. Thank you to ALL volunteers! Looking for a way to get on the path to recovery? We’re here to help.
