- About Me:
- I've led a volunteer-based tutor/mentor program for more than 30 years. I created the Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC in 2011 to share ideas, innovate and help tutor/mentor programs grow in Chicago and other cities. I use my blog and the http://www.tutormentorexchange.net web site to share what I and others know so that more and better tutor/mentor programs can grow in Chicago and other major cities.

- What do you hope to learn, or share, on this forum?
- My goal is to inspire members to use the ideas we share in their own daily actions so that we increase the reach and frequency of messages that mobilize volunteers and donors to support volunteer-based tutor/mentor programs in Chicago and other cities where there are high concentrations of poverty.

Visualization of services offered by youth organization
I'm trying to create a visualization that any youth serving organization might be willing to use to visually communicate what time of day they reach youth, what age range they serve and what types of learning and mentoring activities are offered.
This is what I've done so far. This…

Community Wealth-Building, Anchor Institutions, Tutor/Mentor Programs
In every high poverty neighborhood there are one or two anchor institutions, like a hospital, university, bank, etc. that could provide leadership and strategic support to strategies that support the growth of youth mentoring programs.
If those same institutions also focus on community…

If we agree that connecting a youth and adult mentor is a good idea....
I created this graphic last week to illustrate the progression of thinking that I've followed for the past 20 years.
I know from my own experiences and those of others, and from much reading, that connecting youth with caring adults can have a positive impact.
I also know that…

Daniel, one of the reasons I was attracted to a conversation with you is that you had already posted the graphic on Mentoring Kids to Careers. Thanks for sharing the link again.

http://www.barbaraprivatedutynurse.com to kick in. I spoke with register.com to remove their banner off of my website so they are in the process of doing so. They ask that I wait at least 24 hours for heismyrockmissionary.com to point to my original site.

Thank you Daniel for approving our organization we are on the move to better educate our youth. I do have a question do you know how we can utilize K12 online training this will help our youth receive a diploma instead of a GED. also help the youth get online without having to pay the tuition. I know it is though a CPS but we are located in the South Suburbs. We do have some space at a college that is located in Chicago, will that help? but we need it for the Youth in the South Suburbs
