Chatterbox is a privately run forum and is independent of The Box Project program or the Community Foundation of Northwest Mississippi www.cfnm.org (the nonprofit organization that runs The Box Project). Chatterbox is managed by a small group of caring volunteers, all of whom have sponsor experience. Although Chatterbox is not run by The Box Project, their staff members frequent our forum to keep in touch with Sponsor needs and concerns. Find out more about The Box Project program at www.boxproject.org.

The goal of Chatterbox is to provide a forum where sponsors and potential sponsors can feel comfortable asking questions, as well as sharing thoughts, ideas, experiences and sometimes, even frustrations of participating in The Box Project’s match programs. At the same time, it is important to respect diversity and cultures different from our own and maintain the dignity and protect the confidentiality of our match families and members – so there will be no posting of identifying information allowed. While this forum is dedicated to the sponsor aspect of the program, it IS a public forum.

The moderators will not allow messages containing personal criticism, complaints, reprimands, or other inflammatory remarks, and we require that members treat each other (and the moderators) with respect. Each post may be subject to editing or rejection if deemed necessary by the owners of this forum. While we strive to encourage open communication, anyone not following the rules may be removed from membership at the sole discretion of the moderators. If you have questions or feel that a message posted is not within Chatterbox guidelines and would like to have it reconsidered by the moderators, you may contact the moderators at boxproject_chatterbox-owner@yahoogroups.com to share any concerns.
