WHY JOIN THIS GROUP?

Advising a group of teens is challenging. But you don't need to go it alone! Join this group and ask your fellow Adult Advisors questions, get support, and share your experiences and expertise with others.

You might also consider starting a separate group for your project team. It can help you communicate with one another; share information, photos, and videos about your project; vote on team related issues; and a whole lot more!

Comment by Nicole Greevy on November 9, 2009 at 11:47am: Hey, Advisors- just FYI, I go through the new members every day or every other day to weed out the fake profiles (selling acai berries, mortgages, etc). Most of them are harmless, but once in awhile I find a really inappropriate one (found one today). If you happen to see one that I don't ban within two or three days, please let me know? I'm doing the best I can, but I'm sure here and there some will slip through the cracks and I want this to stay a safe and comfortable site for the teens to be teens.

And, of course, if I accidentally ban one of your kids, let me know that, too! Thanks!

We are planning to initiate the Zero Waste Project in our town. Is there anybody from your country who can help us to realize this dream of ours? We are just girl scouts with big dreams.

Comment by Judith Unis on September 16, 2009 at 4:07pm: Hi Sara,
There will not be any workshops in the foreseeable future. As you know, the grant money ran out. Hope you are well.
Warm regards.

Comment by sara kempton on March 27, 2009 at 10:34pm: as far as having local groups, at least, work together my job is having half a dozen volunteer days this spring. should i post them on the home page?

Comment by Marilyn Brennan on March 23, 2009 at 8:39pm: We should move that last discussion up to the "discussion board"!

Comment by Marilyn Brennan on March 23, 2009 at 8:38pm: Are you part of the board or committee? If you are, it would be really beneficial to suggest that community youth have a voice on the committees, boards, etc. There are, I'm sure, many teens who would love to have a say on environmental issues in their community. They can bring fresh ideas and energy.

Comment by Barbara Murphy on March 23, 2009 at 8:30pm: I would like to see more unity among the local groups instead of everyone doing something different. Our new mayor is forming a committee for environmental affairs and having various groups participate as a board.

Comment by sara kempton on March 23, 2009 at 8:26pm: that is very understandable. hopefully by next year things will be a little better. i like the idea of the groups working together a little bit and getting to know each other.

Comment by Marilyn Brennan on March 23, 2009 at 3:53pm: I considered planning another trip with TREE youth, however with the economic situation of our program, the zoo, and the rest of the country, it just wasn't justifiable. Hoping that this venue will really inspire communication among the TPE teams and advisors as well.

Comment by Jeanine Silversmith on March 23, 2009 at 3:21pm: Unfortunately, no. Stay tuned for more announcements about upcoming events - we'll be sure to post them on the home page.
