<p>I cannot tell you how excited I am to see the work that our Jan-Feb Interns have been doing. Byungkwan Jang has been updating the Interactive Map Platform of the Chicago Tutor/Mentor Program Locator.

<p>I cannot tell you how excited I am to see the work that our Jan-Feb Interns have been doing. Byungkwan Jang has been updating the Interactive Map Platform of the Chicago Tutor/Mentor Program Locator. Last week he updated the list of banks on the asset map section and today it looks like he's found a way to fix the boundary sections that have not been working for a few months.

<p>At the same time Sunjoong Yoo has created five videos and is working on a sixth. See his work on <a href="http://michaelcnt.blogspot.com/2014/01/the-power-of-small-change.html" target="_blank">this blog</a>.</p>

<p>This illustrates the impact young people can have on social benefit organizations like mine. I hope that young people throughout the world will get involved in efforts like this and that alumni from this project will find ways to continue to be involved in the future as they grow their own careers.</p> I created an article on the…tag:tutormentorconnection.ning.com,2014-01-31:783429:Comment:510142014-01-31T22:52:49.218ZDaniel Bassillhttps://tutormentorconnection.ning.com/profile/tutormentor

<p></p>
<p>During the Jan/Feb internship I hope my two new interns will try to build a new interpretation of this graphic, which is included in <a href="http://tutormentor.blogspot.com/2013/04/connecting-resource-providers-and.html" target="_blank">this blog article</a>.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The graphic intends to show that intermediaries, like myself, need to influence what resource providers do to support youth tutoring/mentoring programs and young people while at the same time influence what programs do to constantly improve their impact and to be available in more places where these programs are needed.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Without resources programs cannot improve. Yet without the motivation to learn from others and constantly look for ways to expand impact, extra resources have little impact.</p>
<p></p>
<p>If you're working with youth in a high school or college service learning program, or a youth tutor/mentor program, you can build your own interpretations of graphics like this and use them to build support for youth programs in your own community as well as in the Chicago region.</p>
