How do you recruit volunteers and youth to join a program?
How do you keep them participating throughout a school year?
How do you keep them coming back from year to year?
A Tutor/Mentor Program is a Collective Effort where many peoplework to help young people grow up and lead lives out of poverty.

We created the Tutor/MentorConnection (T/MC) in 1993 tohelp programs like Cabrini
Connections* grow in everypoverty neighborhood of thecity and suburbs of Chicago.
Chicago
The library of information and network of peersthat were used to help a single tutor/mentor
program grow from 1965 through 2011, havebeen shared via the Tutor/Mentor Connectionsince 1993, to help non-school tutor/mentor
programs grow in every high povertyneighborhood.
We seek to be part of the think tanks,brainstorming and innovation of business, non
profit, philanthropy, policy-makers andeducators.anyone who wants to helpeconomically disadvantaged youth have bettersupport helping them through school and intocareers.
This strategy was launched in 1993 by a single tutor/mentor program
operating in one neighborhood of Chicago...

The Tutor/Mentor Connection focusesdaily on one big questions:
What will it take to
assure thatall youth born in
poverty are entering
careers by age 25?
What does it take to makevolunteer-based non-school
tutoring and/or mentoringprograms available to moreyouth, in more places?

We know others are asking the same question.
The T/MC seeks to connect people and groups who are
already spending many hours doing research and
innovating ways to help kids to careers, into one on-going tutor/mentor learning network.
In such a network people and organizations can share
ideas, learn from others, create collaborations, and can
apply new ideas and resources at any time to their own
efforts to help kids in their own community.
My participation in on-line forums is part of the T/MC
network-building strategy.

If athletes, media, political leaders, CEOs, clergy, youth and volunteers talkabout the value of tutoring, mentoring every week, and at key times eachyear, their collective voices can increase the year-to-year flow of volunteers

Using the Tutor/Mentor Program Locator* we can zoom into specific parts of the
city, and build overlays showing where tutor/mentor programs are most needed,based on poverty, or poorly performing schools. If there are non-schooltutor/mentor programs operating in these areas, we dont have them in ourdatabase.
