Happy Wednesday all! Here is a photo of MMS consultants Judy Taylor and Jerry Sherk conducting a workshop last week for YouthBuild USA, which took place at a YouthBuild pre-National Mentoring Summit conference in Washington D.C. It was fantastic- thanks to all the workshop participants!

This is a photo of Judy Taylor during a presentation on Tuesday at Jewish Family Service in San Diego. Jerry Sherk (who was taking this photo), also co-presented. January is a busy month for MMS consultants as it is National Mentoring Month. Judy and Jerry had four trainings this week (in San Diego, San Bernardino, and Rancho Cucamonga)! They also have upcoming workshops at the National Mentoring Summit, taking place February 1-3, 2017 in Washington, D.C. More info on the Summit can be found here: http://www.mentoring.org//events/national-mentoring-summit/
