- 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.

Think of idea sharing as exploding fireworks
I started this forum in 2007 when platforms like Ning were a new way to meet, connect and share ideas. While a few people still join every year the forum has not been very active for a few years.
However, I still use it to archive work done in the past and to maintain connections for those who…

Holiday Appeal from Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC

Follow this "Learning Path" through the ideas of the Tutor/Mentor Connection
I've hosted this Ning site since 2007 with the goal that teams from colleges, faith groups, businesses, etc. in Chicago and other cities would use the information and ideas to build strategies that make mentor-rich youth programs available in all high poverty neighborhoods, and help each get the on-going flow of…

Since the mid 1990s I've tried to visualize my ideas and strategies using PowerPoint and other drawing tools. I've been uploading these to slide share and other platforms for past few years. Here's one example.…

Hello, Dan!
The article on Rio describes very well what is happening.
And your report is very important, also.
One of the worst obstacles to social justice in Brazil has been judicial inequality.
It would be worth trying to translate this short article from a known doctor who works in prisons in the city of São Paulo, here http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/colunas/drauziovarella/2017/08/1907201-desigualdade-judiciaria.shtml.
I appreciated very much the link for the CLMOOC and will participate.

Hi, Daniel
I've been reading your posts for one week (since you viewed my profile in Linkedin) and as I start to understand the TMC's principles, I become more and more interested. I work as a sociology teacher in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, and I think the kind of approach you propose is totally original here, so I'm a begginer.
Thanks,
Daniel Delmanto
Hi, Daniel.
Thank you for the response! You do not need to worry about me, I'll play nice in the sandbox. I was invited by a friend of mine to join, so I am checking it out. I would love to grab coffee in the loop sometimes. Email me at travis@donorpath.org, and we'll find a time to connect.
Best,
Travis
Hey Dan
I don't know if you remember me. I spoke at the June 2013 conference and have attended earlier conferences. I told you I would consider volunteering after I retired. Can you use some help getting the next conference together? Maxine
Daniel,
Today I shared information with two start-up organizations about your websites
and how it is the best resources for a new business. We plan on working together on your website.
Kind Regards
Ronda (BFJP)
Daniel,
Thank you for sharing this information. I will be reviewing it. Look forward to chatting down the road.
Kind regards,
Scott
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.
Scott
Thanks for your note. Could we chat sometime next Wednesday over the phone? Kind regards, S
Daniel,
Thank you for your help. We are a new group, having trouble finding volunteers. I will follow your advice and see what happen. If there is anything I can do to assist you, please let me know.
Thanks,
Jay
