This IS the way we can win in this transformation from slavery to actual collective liberation.”

RSYP Mentoring Night at Route 7 Grill!

Thursday, December 29th, 2011

Title: RSYP Mentoring Night at Route 7 Grill!
Location: Route 7 Grill, 999 Main Street, Great Barrington, MA 01230
Description: The Railroad Street Youth Project is looking to recruit new mentors for our Mentoring Program- an innovative mentoring and sponsorship program for local youth who could use support outside of school, family, or peer group in order to identify and reach their personal, aca…demic, and even professional goals. Pairs meet weekly for an hour, or four hours a month, for a six to twelve month match. The aim of the program is to provide new friendships and role models to the next generation, empowering them to succeed in their every endeavor.

Green Drinks is a monthly social event hosted by the folks who create Orion magazine for people like you and I interested in everything from environmental education to local agriculture, the arts, green business & design, and the ways all of these intersect. We usually have 50 or so folks from around the area stop by.

Please come with your business card, posters to share for an upcoming event in the area, etc, to share with your peers.

As always there will be deliciously free snacks courtesy of our lovely/handsome Route 7 hosts, and gloriously free copies of the current issue of Orion magazine for your enjoyment.

So grab a friend or two and bring them down to share what you’re working on (green or not) and to meet others active in your community.

Please forward this on to your friends & share with your social media contacts…the more the merrier!
