NTEN thinks that's a shame, so we've set up a new program exclusively for NTEN members to help you do it, virtually. That's the idea behind Office Hours - to give you a place to ask the questions that will help you succeed at your job and create more social change.

Office Hours will begin on June 2 and we already have a good crew of volunteer experts who have committed an hour/week so that you have the opportunity to get advice in an online chat room setting.

How do you participate?

1. Check out the calender to see which experts are signed up and when

2. Note that each calendar listing lists each volunteer's specialty areas, but you should feel free to ask anything you need to.

3. At the appointed time, visit the chat room for the expertise area of that volunteer:

4. Ask away in the online chat. You can take your conversations offline if you both agree later. Just think of the chat room as the starting point.

Here are some of the upcoming Office Hours sessions:
