Between 1999 and 2002 the T/MC hosted a survey during each May and November conference. This pdf shows the findings from questions that asked what the most important needs of a program were

Are these issues that are important to you? Are there other, equally important issues?
We will continue to collect survey responses after Sept. 15, but on that date we'll hold a drawing to determine who won a camera.
As you look at the responses, tell us what they mean to you.

We've now had 44 responses to the survey. I hope that we can recruit some evaluation volunteers to help us make sense of the responses, and create sub categories of surveys and discussions around specific questions. The goal is to use surveys like this to build an understanding of what we have in common, and where we might work together to solve problems we cannot solve by working alone. If you know such people, or have those skills yourself, please step forward.

We've now had 44 responses to the survey. I hope that we can draw some evaluation volunteers into this group who help us break down the responses into sub categories that we can discuss and use to build solutions to problems that face volunteer based tutor/mentor programs in Chicago and in other places.
We've had a number of people from Australia join the T/MC site. The survey is live. We'll keep collecting people's responses.
Complete the entire survey by September 15, 2008 and you'll be entered in a drawing to win a brand new Sony DCR-DVD405 digital camcorder!!!
We will share the results in this forum and use the information to build collaboration around issues that we can't solve alone, but might solve by working together.

We've had 22 responses to the survey since Aug. 8. About 1/3 are from the Chicago area. If you know of people involved with volunteer-based tutor/mentor programs, encourage them to spend a few minutes on this survey.
Today in the Chicago Sun Times there was a report about a new research survey being commissioned by the Mayor to learn ways to combat violence. The reporter who wrote the article said "why not use the research you created 15 years ago for the same purpose?"
Good question. I wrote about this on my Tutor/Mentor Blog and I posted some graphics here at ning.com that illustrate strategic actions that could have been happening for the past 15 years.
This image reflects the role any person can take to draw members of his/her network to places like this on the Internet, where those people can learn why, where, and how to be involved in solving this problem of youth on youth violence. I hope you'll take this role.
The next Tutor/Mentor Leadership and Networking Conference will be May 29 and 30 in Chicago. Visit http://www.tutormentorconference.org and learn ways you can be involved, as a speaker, workshop presenter, participant, etc.

I wanted to contribute by taking the survey, but had difficulty because the site would not let me create a username and password to take it. Is there another way to go about it? It seems pretty helpful to know those statistics on the needs of these types of programs.
