Anyone want to mentor me? I need the motivation, otherwise I won’t do anything :S

I now have the time to branch out and become a mentor. It was important to me that I don’t take on something I can’t finish but I’m ready now, and have decided to take on one person because I know I can manage that.

I already am a mentor in real life and know how important it is. I know it’s late in the game but I’m a believer it’s never to late to do something good in life.

Heck, I was already supporting and leaving encouraging comments for the person I chose I may as well make it official.

Hey people I just wanted to ask some of you go to www.helphaitinow.org and give money to help out the people of Haiti. Thanks...

I’m a research assistant at the University of Arizona in Tucson. I currently work on a USDA-funded project called Stealth Health that aims to use mobile technologies to encourage physical activity and increase nutritional knowledge. Many of the applications developed and used in our project capitalize on the GPS (Global Positioning System) integrated into many smartphones. Activities like mapping, geocaching, and gps drawing and the results from each are shared through a social website where youth can post and comment. Posting and contributing results in points gained and incentives achieved. I REALLY LIKE EVOKE! and look forward to learning more by being a mentor….late in the game, but I’m here now

One of my fellow players has asked me to be her mentor. Is there a formal application process to become a mentor or can I just do it? And if there’s no formal process can I ask anyone I want to mentor me?

I’m a teaching assistant at the College of William and Mary in VA, USA. My studies are focused on activism, community engagement, and networking. Currently I’m working on a national campaign for LGBT rights, and I’m trying to pass on the skills I have as an organizer to my students.

I’m more than happy to help mentor people on here as well. I’m definitely going to use my strengths as a researcher and leader here to the best of my ability.

I have just found Evoke, after watching the TED 20 minutes. I signed up at once – after I stopped shouting Wow and stuff. Now, having read more I’d like to be a mentor.
I teach international students, many from Africa at Nottingham Trent University as part of the NTIC.
Also, I have stood for election as an many times for the Greens over the last 20 or so years.
I hope I can help here too.
It would be great if my inventions could actually be built by someone !

I’m seeing another problem. When the page claims to be displaying feeds for the links below are not at all related to the students I am following. Not even remotely related.

I’m trying to set it up so I can mentor my 75 young 7th graders. I have “adopted” more than 30 of them, but I only see 18 on the manage agents list. Some that do not appear on that list, do show up on the manage activity page. I would like to see a list somewhere to confirm I’ve included all of them. (Have not included all 75 yet)
Thank you.

I am a 7th & 8th grade teacher using this with one of my classes. I would LOVE a mentor to help me figure this out!
