Connect knowledge, volunteers, youth and make a difference.

Recommended Reading

The Tutor/Mentor Connection maintains an extensive on-line library with links to articles that help us understand where and why volunteer-based tutor/mentor programs are most needed. I encourage you to launch discussions about these articles in the Ning forum, or in the Tutor/Mentor Connection forum. You can also add new articles.

Each of the links below point to articles which illustrate where and why tutor/mentor programs are needed. Share these with business, church and community leaders. Use them to develop your own volunteer-recruitment and tutor/mentor program support strategy.
