Opportunity to Provide Input in the Alberta Mentoring Partnership’s Evaluation
Mentors are being asked to provide their thoughts to the Alberta Mentoring Partnership (AMP) through a survey because their ideas are important to guide future decisions. Specifically they will assist AMP with their provision of resources and support to the mentoring sector.
Completion of this survey will take about 10 minutes of your time and is being administered by Catalyst Research and Development an external evaluator. All of the information you provide is confidential and will be kept anonymous. Results will be summarized at a group level to protect and respect individual contributions.

Upon completion of the survey, mentors will be invited to provide their contacts (first name and email address) to be entered to a draw for one of two $25.00 iTunes gift cards. Please note that personal information will be unlinked to survey responses.
In order for the results to be as comprehensive as possible, we are asking for your help. Please send the link to this survey to any mentor for whom you think this questionnaire is relevant.
Please complete the survey before midnight, October 3, 2013.

Nominate a Hero
What can we do individually or collectively to create safer, more caring environments and societies? When faced with incidences of bullying, violence or exploitation, either as victim or witness, how does one respond?
Perhaps you know someone who has been active in reducing bullying and other violence or has responded to it with an act of extraordinary bravery, compassion or commitment. Perhaps someone has taken steps to build safer, more caring schools and communities, preventing such incidents from occurring or recurring.
The Society for Safe and Caring Schools & Communities (Safe and Caring) considers such acts to be heroic, and we want to hear from you. The HEROES of a Safe and Caring World Awards (HEROES Awards) recognizes individuals and organizations who demonstrate a commitment to creating safe, caring, healthy and inclusive schools and communities.
Anyone is eligible for nomination – children, youth, teachers, adults, schools, community organizations, government representatives and businesses.
