Bricks for Bricks Campaign - 1 January - 1 May 2017 - iCouldBe.org

I'm a little late getting this posted, but I will included the profits from orders received starting 1 January 2017 and put them towards this campaign.  So what is iCouldBe?  I hadn't heard of it until this past fall, but I think it's a perfect fit for one of my campaigns.  We have focused the campaigns on helping kids and/or education and this is right in line.  iCouldBe is an online mentoring platform.  Adult "professionals" register with the program, go through the training, and then their name goes on a list.  The list is reviewed by teens in high school and they can select an adult as a mentor.  The high school students then go through an online course that has them look at how they can improve, building goals, talking about where they need help, and many other lessons.  How do I know about it?  I am currently mentoring two high school juniors through the program right now.  It's been a good experience for me and I can say that we had a few "aha" moments where the teens received and appreciated some feedback from me.  

iCouldbe has been around since the year 2000 and they claim to have over 21,000 mentor/mentee connections since then. If you're an adult looking to give back or to help mold minds, definitely check the program out.  They typically start up in the fall so you can register, do the training, and then wait for the fall.  Another way you can give back... 15% of the profits during this time period will be donated to  iCouldBe.  

Thanks ahead of time and happy building!
