Transition Planning

As the 2007-2008 Promise Fellow Service Year comes to a close, it is beneficial to prepare your organization for the transition from one Promise Fellow to another. The indispensable work that you provided over the year and resources you developed should continue. With a well thought out transition plan, your supervisor will be able to communicate and coordinate tasks necessary for a successful transition.

Important Steps

1. Get input from people who will be involved in the transition tasks and the people who will be affected once transition is complete. It is a good idea to hold a walkthrough of the transition plan with all involved to verify that all tasks are accounted for and appropriate resources are available.

2. Tasks for handing off the "new" as well as closing out the "old" should be included in your transition plan.

3.The level of effort required for the transition tasks varies depending on the amount of change introduced into the next Promise Fellows role. The types of tasks included in the transition plan will depend on the needs of the organization: running parallel to the old position description, a phased approach, a "complete makeover" etc. If there are training needs, include tasks for creating training materials and setting up training opportunities.

Providing Program Continuity During Summer Months

One of the main challenges facing school-based mentoring programs is sustaining matches during the summer months. Mentoring relationships suffer when contact is missing during this time. Youth may also experience loss in what they have learned over the summer. Fortunately, there are approaches accessible to school-based programs to minimize the effect of summer upon the mentoring relationship and even prepare for the upcoming school year.

Here are some tips to prepare appropriate summer activities:

• Take advantage of resources available such as meeting space, temporary staff, and other school services (summer school, athletic facilities, etc.), community-based learning opportunities, and transportation.
• Decide based upon the level of supervision the program can provide.
• Many schools have club and athletic activities during the summer (football, band, orchestra, etc.). Mentors may be able to visit (or even assist) during these times.
• Boys & Girls Clubs and YMCAs have a variety of activities for youth during the summer months. Ask representatives of these organizations about using their facilities for mentoring time. They may be able to provide supervision, a safe environment, access to other group outings, or help with transportation.
• Take a group field trip to local college campuses, art museums, nature areas, sporting events, or other community-enrichment places.
• Arrange for matches to participate in service-learning activities (group or individual). See the Learn and Serve America Web site for more information on service-learning (www.learnandserve.org).
• As summer winds down, gather mentors, parents and guardians, and mentees in preparation for the start of the school year. Hold "get reacquainted" events to prepare everyone for the school year ahead.

In lieu of phone contact, many school-based mentoring programs offer some form of written correspondence over the summer months. There are several free or low-cost options for conducting a summer correspondence campaign:

• Postcards — Print and prepay postage on custom postcards that mentors and mentees can use throughout the summer months.
• Traditional letters — A more robust form of correspondence involves matches taking the time to write letters to each other throughout the summer. Your program can provide stationary, envelopes, stamps, pens and pencils, and even ideas for writing topics.
• E-mail — Some programs are adopting an e-mentoring component over the summer months. For little or no cost, your program can set up e-mail accounts for your mentors and mentees (Gmail and Yahoo! Mail are popular choices), providing them with a unique username and password. This allows matches to have frequent, even daily, contact over the summer months. It also enables your staff, if they choose, to monitor the content of messages (make sure participants know that you may be checking in on their e-mails from time to time).

Regardless of which approach you take to a summer correspondence campaign, the following tips can help make it successful:

Have ground rules in place — Make sure mentors, mentees, and parents of participating youth know the expectations and limitations of the summer correspondence campaign. You may want to create rules around frequency of contact, both in terms of a minimum amount and limitations on frequency. Reiterate policies that prohibit unauthorized off-site contact, and remind matches that all program guidelines about privacy, confidentiality, and mandatory reporting of potentially harmful situations apply equally to their written communications as they do face-to-face interactions throughout the school year. Mentors and mentees should have compatible expectations about the nature of their summer correspondence. They should understand that the campaign is designed to supplement their in-school mentoring relationship, not replace it in terms of intensity or frequency.
Make participation easy — Most programs gather all the supplies, instructions, and ground rules for their summer correspondence campaign into a Summer Packet that matches receive and go over during one of their last in-person meetings just before the break. These packets keep stationary and other materials organized and make it easy for participants to correspond while on vacations or other out-of-town excursions.
Monitor matches over the break — Even though matches will not be meeting in person, it is still important to check in with mentors, mentees, and parents to see if any issues have come up and to ensure that the match is writing to each other frequently. This can be done over the phone or by e-mail.
Evaluate the effectiveness of your summer activities — Keep track of how often matches communicate and gather feedback on the correspondence campaign and any in-person group activities over the summer. A short survey just before school begins can gauge participants' feelings about the frequency, content, and usefulness of their summer contact. This information can help you improve the campaign the following year and might let you know which matches will need some extra support as the new school year begins.

Sustainability

Every week seems packed with items to check off of your to-do list; activities to coordinate, events to attend, or projects to finalize. The effort you bring to your position is important towards your organization. You help sustain the hope for youth in the programs across Minnesota.

What happens when it is time to move on from your position? Simply getting through operations day-to-day can be challenging enough, however, sustainability planning cannot be avoided if programs are to have long-term impact.
Below are some items to consider when it comes to tackling the issue of sustainability.

Yes, you CAN ask for help

1. Make a list of people and skills that can impact sustainability efforts. Include people from every aspect of your program, from youth to board members, and chart their skills on how they could possibly help.

2. Put resource development on the agenda of every staff, board, or advisory group. Keep everyone up to date on progress toward sustainability goals, as for new ideas, and get commitments to carry out fundraising activities.

3. Be open to new partnerships and develop those you already have.

4. Make your program known in the community.

Simple Sustainability Activities

1. Schedule at least one hour a week for dedicated sustainability work. What can you accomplish in an hour? Examples include: researching online for grants, writing a letter of request to a foundation, contacting current or prospective donors, investigating fundraising software, or taking a short online course in grant writing.

2. Make a timeline, plan scenarios. Take some time to quickly chart where you are and where you would like to be in the future.

3. Write 'boilerplate'. Save time and energy by developing boilerplate language about your program in advance. In no more than two pages, describe the need for your program and why it is worthy of being funded.

4. Develop short marketing 'packages'. Tailor the boilerplate to different audiences. Don't change your mission, but find language that speaks to each audience.

Ways To Recognize Volunteers

Here are some ideas to help recognize the volunteers that are a vital part of your program.

Make a bookmark and include a message on the back. Laminate and present it to the volunteer to say "Thank you".
Invite those who receive services from volunteers as well as staff to write a brief note of thanks. Type them up into a booklet, with the center-fold pages having signatures of many expressing in their own handwriting, their own thanks.
Write a letter to nearby merchants asking them to offer a one-time discount. Design a "Volunteer Appreciation Card" which lists the merchants on the back with their specified discount.
Carry around a stack of Post-It notes and use them for recognition. Expressing your thanks and placed on a volunteer's desk or office door will bring many happy smiles.

Utilizing the Elements of Effective Practice: How to Design and Plan a Mentoring Program

So you are thinking about starting a mentoring program. By thoroughly identifying all aspects of your program you will be prepared to serve youth effectively and sustain your program over the long term.

The planning and design stage lets you create how you will manage, implement and evaluate your mentoring program. You can modify it as you go along. By planning in advance you can be sure that you programs adhere to the Elements of Effective Practice.

1. Start with the need* :

You must verify that the need does, in fact, exist. Begin with conducting a comprehensive community needs assessment. Check with organizations such as United Way who conduct periodic assessments. Then confirm that people are ready and willing to invest in your program.

- Develop a brief Mission Statement which includes the name of your organization, what it does, who it serves and where its services are provided

- Develop a brief Vision Statement which outlines what your organization wants to become as its mission is achieved.

2. Design the parameters for your program* :

- Which youth populations will your program serve?
- What specific type of mentoring will you offer?
- Where will mentoring pairs meet?
- Who will you partner with (e.g., a school, corporation, etc)?
- Who will you involve as advisors, staff and participants?

*Promise Fellows can facilitate these initial steps on behalf of, and with, the support of an interested community group (you don't have to do it alone!) The next tasks can build on the foundation that is established by a strong needs assessment and clear parameters. With the needs assessment, it is also important to assess whether there is a potential support base of volunteers as well as needs of the community.
Don't hesitate to contact the Mentoring Partnership of Minnesota if you have any questions.

Contact :MPM's AmeriCorps Promise Fellow promisefellow@mentoringworks.org or April McHugh aprilm@mentoringworks.org.

3. Plan how the program will be managed :

- Select the management team (e.g., Program Coordinator, staff)
- Establish policies and procedures (e.g., how you will match mentors and students, details of the screening processes and who will be responsible for these actions)
- Implement ongoing staff training and professional development
- Develop a financial plan

Recruitment

Volunteer recruitment can be effective if thought about in the right frame of mind. Instead of thinking of it as asking for a favor, approach recruitment as sharing an opportunity with prospective volunteers that they shouldn't miss out on.

Be sure you focus your recruitment efforts effectively. Be specific in the type of audience you target that have the skills or characteristics you want.

Keep asking for volunteers until you get a positive response. Diversify your message each time you present to the same audience to keep your message visible and welcoming.

Be honest in the description of the needs from your volunteers. Don't sugar-coat the role to sound easy. Volunteers are often motivated to sign up for a role that is a bit demanding rather than an easy opportunity.

Go beyond word of mouth. Most volunteers talk to people who are similar to them whether in age, values, or interests. If you are in search for greater diversity in volunteers you have to outreach to new places, neighborhoods, and groups of people.

Make sure to get listed everywhere you can. This includes Internet registries, student activity offices, volunteer centers, on file with RSVP, Hands On, and any other placement program.

Be specific. List several opportunities with different titles and qualifications. Also, be current. When you’ve filled a position, remove it from the list and put up a new one. Make sure to keep notes of where and when you post positions.

Be creative in your recruitment efforts. Staff a table at a street fair in the neighborhood you most want to reach. Do something fun and provide take-away public education materials relevant to your cause.

For Mentors: Engaging in Good Conversation

Conversations are the foundation of strong relationships, and strong relationships are the goal of meaningful mentoring. Engaging in the art of conversations does not always come naturally to people, and for many adolescents it can be a territory in which they have yet to build skills.

Below are some tips for making conversations work, as well as some conversation starters to spark interesting discussions. Hopefully, they not only give your mentors and mentees something else to chat about once in awhile, but also give them a chance to get to know each other a little better.

Keep it going. It's one thing to ask a question and then sit back to wait for an answer. It is another thing to really engage in a conversation. Asking follow-up questions or providing open-ended responses are great ways to keep the conversation going. The idea is not to debate an answer but to learn more. Try some of these: "That's cool. Tell me more.", "You've really thought about this, haven't you?", "Are you saying…?", "Interesting. Have you thought about…?"

Be prepared for the unexpected answer. You may ask a question and get an answer you did not want or expect. If an answer bothers you, simply listen and ask more questions about why the young person thinks and feels that way. Suspend your own judgment and let young people express their ideas and opinions.

Listening is most important. Conversations with kids are better when we 'elders' practice the art of listening. Through careful listening we tell them we care about their thoughts – we care about them.

Be prepared to give your own answer.You are focusing on the young person, but she may also want to turn the question in your direction. This is a great chance to model thoughtful, honest responses.
