I am currently a beginner, I accidentally stumbled upon the CTB while looking for sources related to social service providers increasing cultural sensitivity. So far the contents of the CTB are amazing. My search took me directly to Chapter 27.

I am a 25 year veteran of the transportation Industry. I have served this country as a professional commercial motor vehicle operator, trainer and have adopted into positions of leadership by my fellow drivers. I have always spoken up for drivers rights and in some cases to my own detriment. Over the last couple of years particularly with the implementation of new laws and regulations, my fellow drivers have been approaching me once again to take a leadership role in expressing their heart felt concerns about the direction our beloved industry has taken. I have begun to seriously look into options that would allow me to convey said concerns and to add weight to effect real changes.
How have you used the Community Tool Box to support your work and make a difference?
I am new to the Community Tool Box, and must say, that this site has made the most sense. Frankly, It makes the advocacy component seem extremely doable.
I need more information as to how to implement much of what is covered.

I am a retired internist-nephrologist who spent many years looking after people with preventable chronic illness. My retirement project is to champion a better way of promoting - and achieving - a culture of wellness in our region (the Okanagan Similkameen). I am convinced that one key element of success will be to shift the guiding paradigm from primary prevention (= harm avoidance) to wellness promotion (= reward pursuit). Pull instead of push, if you will.
How have you used the Community Tool Box to support your work and make a difference?
I am now the President of the Okanagan Similkameen Healthy Living Society, which is the convener for our regional Coalition. We are still in our formative stage and going through the process of clarifying our identity, scope, governance model, organizational structure and strategic plan - as well as solving the funding dilemma for a start-up .

I mentor boys aged 12-17 in juvenile prisons in Kenya. I began doing this in 2012 when I met a group of 100 boys. I was working as a TV producer at the time. I began with weekly meetings but with time I realized I had to get more involved and took a break from my work to focus on my work.

Many of the boys have returned home and embraced a crime-free lifestyle while I am focusing on creative writing which has always been my dream from childhood. Meeting the boys have opened my eyes to living a purposeful life.

I am looking for help in terms of knowing where to find partners who are doing the same thing.

It is my first time. But I am sure I will be using the toolbox soon.
