<p>I first became a volunteer tutor/mentor in 19 73<a target="_self" href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2957729271?profile=original"><img width="120" class="align-left" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2957729271?profile=RESIZE_180x180" width="120"/></a> when I was matched with Leo, a 4th grade boy living in the Cabrini Green area of Chicago. I became the leader of that program in 1975 and continued leading a tutor/mentor program reaching kids from Cabrini Green until July 2011. I created an alumni site for <a href="http://cabriniconnectionsalumni.ning.com" target="_blank">Cabrini Connections</a> a few years ago and have posted a number of pictures from the past. I'd like to find some former students/volunteers to take ownership of this. </p>
<p>Based on my experiences leading a single program I created the Tutor/Mentor Connection in 1993 and the Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC in 2011 to help similar programs reach kids in all poverty neighborhoods of Chicago. In 1998 I went to the internet with this so now the information is available to people all over the world.
