- 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.

Use web library to support the growth of your tutor/mentor efforts
This graphic is what you see when you visit the Tutor/Mentor Connection web library, which I've been building for more than 20 years (and on the Internet since 1998).

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…

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.

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
