Nick,

My recommendation for using guidance counselors and teachers was in reference to selecting kids to be in a national competition AND NOT the training. Mentoring, training and timing can be done by anyone.
  
A guidance counselor at our high school has recommended kids to become a "Natural Helpers". Yea, I never heard of it before either but she read the info that came across her desk. Through a selection process 20 kids at our high school were chosen. It seems to be a neat opportunity.

That guidance counselor HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE TRAINING for Natural Helpers. All she did was help confirm the best kids for the opportunity. That was the format I suggested for the indoor national postal contest for students. Why not ask those in guidance, teaching, administration who know the students' skills the best and allow them to make that positive contact?
