Project DIVAS Mentor Program and TelAvision.tv team up to Inspire Mentees and Give Back
What do you get when you connect two amazing people who:
- Care about Youth
- Care about the World
- Care about the Future of both of the above
You get a Mentor Program that provides its mentees with the opportunity to capture their affirmative visions for the future and a win-win all around.
And, that is what getting Wired for 2020 is all about!
Take a minute with me and allow me to share a story that will likely inspire and energize you.
Over the past three Saturday mornings, the Project DIVA Mentor program has hosted George Johnson from TelAVision.tv. They invited him in to help them create and capture their vision for the future.
As George shares with people…
“We have become a nation of negativity and fear, much of it broadcast on television news. Unless we change our current course, we will become what we envision.”

That is exactly what George is hoping to eliminate with his new venture TelAVision.tv. So, he is one by one, connecting with programs like Project DIVAS and creating hope and inspiration for our nation’s youth while he teaches them how to capture their vision for a productive life of their choice.
When I met Neda Kellogg, I knew she had a special program- she is a highly positive and inspired woman. By founding Project DIVAS she has created a place for young ladies to chose a path of positive attitiude and affirmation and has created a healthy environment for them to blossom into productive adult women.

Connecting the dots of these two people to provide a positive Mentor/Mentee experience and a long term vision seemed a natural fit.
Fast forward to the final week of their Vision Video Capture Saturdays when I was invited to join in.

The energy and excitement in the room is equally balanced with thoughtfulness and commitment as these high school students create their vision videos with Neda and George’s support. George works with them to find just the right images via the internet and the Telavision.tv portal and Neda coaches them on appropriate music and affirms their choices. It is truly something out of a movie you would see.
The good news is you will be able to see their videos, at least a shorter version of them at our Wired for 2020 event at the Mall of America on 4.18.09 as the Project DIVAS Mentors & Mentees will be on hand with TelAVision.tv to help Minnesota’s youth and families create their own vision videos.
Project DIVA Mentees will help you create your TelAVision at the Mall of America on 4.18.09
You can learn and create your own TelaVision.tv Vision Video at the Wired for 2020 Mentor Engagement Event at the Mall of America on Saturday 4.18.09 from 10 am to 5 pm. We will have two stations set up for you to participate in:
- Best Buy Rotunda- in the Ideation Interest Area- Mentee/mentor teams will provide individual guidance to event attendees as they create a mini vision to get a feel of how to create their own TelAVision. George Johnson and the Project DIVAS mentees will provide a few Main Stage training sessions throughout the day. Stay tuned for specific times and details.
- West Market- Broadcast Stage area- the Mentoring Partnership Stage will be hosting a TelAVision.tv Vision Creation Stage staffed by the Project DIVAS youth volunteers and their mentors. The mentee volunteers will be conducting 30 minute vision creation sessions supported by George Johnson of TelAVision.tv at the top and bottom of each hour.
