As you browse this site, I encourage you to also look at the other sites hosted by the Tutor/Mentor Connection. In particular, this research links section should be one you visit often. The links point to research and articles that talk about social and economic costs of poverty. As you get to know these materials, I hope you'll write about them, and tell how they point to volunteer-based tutor/mentor programs as a strategy to get more adults and the business community involved, while expanding the network of adults for kids living in neighborhoods of highly segregated poverty.
The links library is interactive so as you find new articles that you feel are important, you can add them to the T/MC library, and then talk about them in your blog so other people know you have added them.
Here's a
link to a report from Dr. James Heckman, a Nobel Prize winning economist at the University of Chicago.
If you can write about what we're doing from the perspective of a "Tipping Points" or "Freakeconomics" scholar/journalist, it can lead many more people to understand where, why, and how, they should use limited resources to help economically disadvantaged young people move from birth to work.
Connect knowledge, volunteers, youth and make a difference.

I hope you'll read this blog article and include ideas in your own writing.
This report on why business should be involved in philanthropy and how they measure the impact might be something that an economist would find interesting.
