Extractions: Last updated on May 3, 2005 We're looking for experienced fund-raisers and grant writers to help get the Hawaii Gifted Association back on its feet. Funds raised will be used for start-up costs to get the organization up to speed again, and to offer enrichment programs to gifted and talented students. Gifted and talented students need resources that address their unique needs more than ever as government funding for school-based programs continues to decline. Gifted and talented programs are often the first to be cut. Yet, gifted and talented students continue to have unique needs that cannot be met in a regular classroom. The HGA will provide for some of these needs through on-going programs. Volunteers preferred who have some experience in fun-raising and grant writing. This opportunity is sponsored by: Hawaii Gifted Association We need volunteers who are free at these times Occasional I'm interested in this opportunity Contact Person:

UConn Mentor Connection 2005 This unique summer program allows talented high school students to pursue their area of interest under the supervision of a university mentor. http://www.gifted.uconn.edu/mentoruc.html
Extractions: Neag School of Education UConn Mentor Connection is a summer program for rising high school juniors and seniors located at the University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT. We believe students' interests, abilities, and motivation are very important talents. We also believe that it is essential for students to have opportunities to manifest their talents in high levels of creative productivity. Our work is based on the following additional beliefs: Above average ability, creativity, and task commitment can be developed and nurtured. Creative productivity results from the interaction of above average ability, creativity, and task commitment. All social contexts, including school, the home, and the community can influence the incidence of creative productivity. The university setting provides an especially promising context for creative productivity because first-hand inquiry is the core of almost all daily work. Creative and productive individuals exist in every ethnic and cultural group and across all socioeconomic levels.
