MentorPhilly

Built alpha version of MentorPhilly text message service in Laravel with administrative backend and Slack integration.

Hey everyone. MentorPhilly is back at it again. Thanks, Corey, for re-engaging me. We have established a website using the WordPress platform. Currently, we are creating the language for our ABOUT page and registration page and establishing our look; any insight or support with that would be greatly appreciated. One of our focus right now is creating a campaign across multiple social media outlets, promoting MentorPhilly and recruiting Mentors. We also are creating our logo, any design support would be helpful. The slack that will be attached to our web page similar to Code for Philly's site has texting capabilities we would like to create a simpler way to respond back from slack like a one-button command to respond vs a string of commands (hope that makes sense). Is anyone familiar with InVision or Adobe XD we like to build on our conceptual design?

Recent dialogue has led to some great effort spear headed by @cricca. We are now in the process of creating a 1st point of contact fro mentees with potential mentors through sms. We are using Twillo services to further this portion of the project. (https://www.twilio.com/) The next step is to create some internet visibility with a web page and traditional social media outlets. @theraval has been very diligent and instrumental in the internet presence portion of the project. We will be providing Mentors with a single web page bio that will be linked to out website. I would be remiss if I did not mention that @ccziriak has offered invaluable support and advice.

We have been really having some great dialogue about this MentorPhilly idea. I feel like we have gotten a pretty good amount of attention here at Code for Philly now we just need to be really intentional about our next steps. We have receive a few commencements from members here which we appreciate greatly. For those who have made a commitment to help with this project can you please join our slack chat room @mentorphilly so that we can map out the next steps and for anyone else who would like to be apart of this project please join as well. Thanks
