I am being interviewed for a Community Education Coordinator position at a community college. The coordinator will be responsible to seeking out local community agencies to help them provide ESL, ABE, GED, etc courses for adults. I have to give a 10 min. presentation on "How to enhance adult education course offerings at your site" to a mock audience of 3 people in the community organization. I was wondering if you might help me find specific information on this to help create my presenation. Thank you!!!

Hello over the past three years I have devoted my time to developing a program which promotes a healthy active lifestyle for older adults. I enlisted a local community group and we applied for government funding under their mandate. That is where the partnership came to a grinding halt. The money was approved and I am being compensated for an information session I give once a month yet all other promises have been neglected. I am setting up an advisory council made up of all the local leaders of community groups for seniors. The community group that applied on my behalf has taken over my idea including the name as its own. What can I do . Thank you for your time

I am opening a temporary housing program in a resource-poor country for patients who are in treatment for drug-resistant tuberculosis and whose unstable housing has become a barrier to treatment adherence. The patients will be in a non-infectious phase of treatment. I am looking for outcome data tools to monitor and measure the success of the program.

I have nursing students working at a subsidized housing complex. The tenants have multiple issues - mental illness, drug and alcohol addictions, past homelessness. The students plan is to help the community to determine a health concern and then work together to develop a strategy. The problem is that none of the tenants will come to any of the introductory events, such as Meet and Greet, Coffee and a Chat. They do not fill out any surveys even though the students deliver door to door. I have asked the students to look at what might be some of the reasons that could be keeping the ten ants from participating. Do you have any suggestions on how to gather feedback from the actual tenants themselves though? Would you suggest that we access this data by going through some of the other local agencies that support the tenants?I did access your chapter on difficulties in getting people to participate, but our problem is that they will not participate at all, even when there is food!

This past year I started implementation of a program which promotes a healthy active lifestyle to older adults in my community. The reception has been warm but I would like to involve others yet I have a hard time turning my baby over. Do you have any advice, I know conciously if I wish to reach as many participants as possible training others would be the ideal situation yet I have a problem handing over my name and reputation to someone else. Thank you for your time.

The Gold Country Computer Learning Center, Grass Valley, California, is non-profit org teaching Seniors computer literacy. We are looking for a new Director and would like some guidelines in regard to formulating questions for prospective applicants. Are there any "canned" or generic questions that need to be asked? Since we are all volunteers, salary is not an issue - but time commitment is an important issue. Thank you so much.

I would like to implement a wellness program in the small to mid size companies in the surrounding community. I believe there is a need as many large companies have added these and reaped the benefits. I am not sure how to go about getting my vision to be a reality-get my foot in the door. I have some understanding of compiling a formal presentation to the powers that be. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello - I'm working on community-building with residents of affordable housing properties. We're starting to have community nights, but I'm struggling with activities for residents that don't depend entirely on speaking the same language. Many members of the community are native Spanish speakers, and others are native English speakers. While we'll often have someone there that can help interpret, I'd like to find some activities that don't rely on interpretation & can allow residents to interact in a fun, one-on-one way. I've looked in many places and haven't found many ideas - do you have any suggestions? Anything is appreciated - as is the entire website - it's amazingly useful!

At the public library where I work as marketing and outreach coordinator we are working to build interest and participation in adult programming. Attendance is often low for those programs that teach life skills, (adult literacy, how to manage finances, etc.). Can you suggest resources I could explore to see how we can effectively market our programming and what adult programming is most popular in the public library setting? Thank you.

Me and some students at City College of San Francisco in the Healthcare Interpreter Certification Program were looking to facilitate langusge access to Limited English Proficiency (L.E.P.) Patients in San Francisco. We wanted to do this by educating healthcare providers and helping them comply with SB 853 as well as rising patient awareness. In helping healthcare providers comply with SB 583, we would create a non-profit medical interpreting agency very much like ACCLAH in Alameda County, but for San Francisco. This non-profit would have as goals educating healthcare providers, raise patient awareness, screen interpreters until the national medical interpreter certificate process is in place and act as a broker between healthcare providers and our pool of medical interpreters. A big percentage of the reimbursement received will paid to the medical interpreter and the rest to maintaining an active presence in the community. Our question would be, is there such an effort already in place? If there is, who are they and how can we join them. If there is none, can you provide any suggestions as to how we can go about creating one?
