[Update 08Aug07] COMING SOON…Ok, this section has been up for a year now, and I haven’t updated it yet. There are many small businesses and larger retail businesses in the area. Dumbo is also known for its art galleries and high tech entrepreneurs. It’s been a challenge for an individual like myself (with limited time) to keep up with them. So I’d like to highlight local businesses with individual postings. If you own a business in the Dumbo area, email me at dumbonyc[at]gmail[dot]com with your business name, contact information, website (if available), and description. I may post your information with a short interview. Thanks!

You do have time to become a mentor!
iMentor proves that even the busiest, most successful New Yorkers have time to be quality mentors. iMentor uses mentoring to bridge the divide between New York City’s eclectic communities, creating unique and dynamic relationships that would not have been possible without the program.
The iMentor program is truly changing the face of youth mentoring. This year, iMentor connected 700 high school-aged youth (mentees) one-to-one with volunteer adult mentors. Every mentor-mentee pair cultivates their relationship using iMentor’s pioneering combination of weekly email correspondence and regular in-person meetings.
We would love some Mentors from DUMBO!
