 About
Higher Learning Network:
The Higher Learning Network, www.HigherLearningNetwork.org,
offers self empowerment seminars/training for the community
with an emphasis on learning how to develop and trust
the inner self. It evolved over the past 15 years under
Zelda Robinson Communications as a result of facilitating
Free Self-Empowerment Information Seminars for the general
public on a variety of subjects.(www.ZeldaSpeaks.com)
As an International Speaker/Trainer/Author her passion
for helping people gave her much joy, but she also discovered
how hard it was for some parents to get their children
into school. Because of this Zelda began searching for
scholarship monies.
Zelda was on a mission to help students find their
purpose and passion in life because someone had helped
her. She wrote a book about it. (The Passion Principles:
Pathways to Purpose, Power & Profit!) She then went
on to found the Youth Empowerment Network. She began
to speak at Career Days at local schools and community
events discussing other positions in radio as well as
station ownership. Zelda begin to think of ways to incorporate
the information she had gathered for adults too. This
resulted in the formation of the Higher Learning Network,
which teaches youth and adults how to trust their intuition
in finding their unique purpose in life.
After becoming a member of WomenOnCall.org, HLN is
delighted to have additional volunteers who do the necessary
paperwork that keeps the organization functioning. People
like Jerri Ann Cheswick who does a great job with clerical
and database development. "I don't know what we'd
do without Jerri. She's simply the best volunteer we've
had. All the volunteers are great but Jerri goes beyond
the call of duty. She's so fast with her work we can't
keep up with her. We are most appreciative of them all
and looking forward to meeting them all in person some
day."
With the efforts of volunteers, HLN can continue to
serve thousands of people and their families in the
Chicagoland and surrounding states. At present there's
only one full time employee and a few part time employees
who work when they can. HLN's next challenge is to secure
an established grant writer and fundraiser so they can
hire more full time employees. "With the continued
help of volunteers, we can only continue to grow, and
we love our volunteers. We trust WomenOnCall.org, and
the process of finding volunteers using their service".
