    FosterEdConnect.org

    By Josefina on May 5, 2010

    FosterEdConnect.org is an online community connecting and supporting California’s foster youth liaisons, foster youth advocates, and all professionals working to improve the educational outcomes of foster youth.

    FosterEdConnect.org is a central place where people working directly with foster youth can:

    • Find and share resources
    • Ask and answer questions
    • Read and post current news

    On FosterEdConnect.org, you will find everything from fact sheets explaining key legislation to handbooks and lesson plans. You will also be able to share your own resources with individuals in your county and throughout California. Members are encouraged to contribute new resources as they find or create them. Thus, FosterEdConnect.org will grow and change over time, along with the knowledge and expertise of its members.

    This website will also connect you to a network of individuals who share your goals. Here, you will be able to ask and answer questions, have conversations, and collaborate with experts and peers across the state.

    In addition, the website will keep you up-to-date on news and events relating to educational opportunities for foster youth. You will be able to read and upload news items, as well as learn about – and publicize your own – advocacy activities, trainings, conferences, and community events.

    Welcome to HEY’s Newest Volunteer – Josefina Bolufer

    By Dana Mandolesi on March 18, 2010

    Josefina contacted us about a month ago because she saw a posting we had at VolunteerMatch.org for someone to help us with our website. HEY’s website and newsletter really needed someone with an eye for design, and our staff just didn’t have the capacity to give it the attention it needed. We were so excited to have her contact us and join our team. She works in the HEY offices with us twice a week and provides support and advice on making heysf.org even better. Here’s what she has to say!

    “My name is Josefina Bolufer, I am a graphic design senior student at San Francisco State University. Originally, I’m from Spain; however, I’ve had the opportunity to live in other countries such as Germany, England and now the US. When I arrived here, I was impressed with the level of commitment that students dedicate to help their communities. It really inspired me. I decided to contribute by doing what I love to do most: design. Right now I’m volunteering for Honoring Emancipated Youth (HEY) and for Native American AIDS Project (NAAP).”

    HEY can offer volunteer and internship positions for students looking to add to their experience or portfolio. If you are interested in volunteering with us, contact heysf@uwba.org.

    HEY Technology Update – How to follow heysf.org using the HEY Newsletter and RSS Feeds

    By Dana Mandolesi on November 22, 2009

    For instance, we have a great newsletter that comes out every other week and is a compilation of the latest articles on our site. You can sign up for our newsletter on the right hand sign of any page in our site. But there’s other ways to follow us too. One tool we are using is RSS feeds. RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication, and basically it’s a super easy way to see the newest articles we post on our site, without having to actually go to our site and look for them. If you’re not really comfortable with the internet, it may be a bit challenging to set this up, but actually it’s pretty easy and becomes addictive! RSS is a fantastic way to create your own unique and personalized channel with all the articles you want to read sent directly to you.
