The MAP Program supports island students through the college application and transition process by providing leadership training, monthly webinars, individualized support, peer mentoring, and scholarship support.

The 2017 Island Teachers Conference took place Thursday, October 5th and Friday, October 6th at the University of Maine Hutchinson Center in Belfast, Maine. The theme of the 2017 conference was "Small School Solutions: Meeting Island Students Where They Are."

The purpose of this information is to improve the experience of virtual meetings for facilitators and participants in order to encourage collaborative work. It includes tips for facilitators at various stages of the meeting, as well as general best practices for virtual engagement.

Living and working remotely, while collaborating with distant partners, can make meeting in-person difficult to near impossible. The possibility of meeting virtually, either for everyone or for some members of a group, can help remedy this challenge.
