FYI,

 

I’m just passing this along for informational purposes only.

 

This came from Renee Kretz, the founder of Mi-Era (https://mi-era.org):

 

“Mi-Era is looking for three to five New Jersey libraries to participate in its first free “Study Reset” pilot for teens ages 13–18.

 

The program is a live, virtual session lasting approximately 20 minutes, with an optional 10-minute Q&A. Teens will learn a simple process for:

 

  • Breaking a test, project, or assignment into manageable steps
  • Identifying the part that is making it difficult to begin
  • Choosing one realistic next action
  • Starting a focused work session without becoming overwhelmed

 

Mi-Era will provide the presenter, ready-to-use promotional copy, and a downloadable teen handout. Libraries would only need to select a date and share the program with their community. There is no cost, purchase, app account, or download required for teens to participate.

 

Because Mi-Era is newly launched, no libraries have hosted this program yet, and I do not want to overstate that. We launched with nearly 300 waitlist signups and five ambassadors, but this would be our first library cohort. I would welcome feedback from participating librarians so we can strengthen the program and build appropriate references with their permission.”

 

If you want to participate or have questions, please contact Renee at ...@mi-era.org" style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left; line-height: 1.3; color: #2199e8; text-decoration: none;">ren...@mi-era.org or ...@mi-era.org" style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left; line-height: 1.3; color: #2199e8; text-decoration: none;"> mark...@mi-era.org.
