Notice: the Chicago Tutor/Mentor Program Locator, created in 2008-9, is not connecting to Google maps, as of 8-3-2018. Read this article to learn more.

Volunteer (or donor) help is needed to fix this.

All of the articles in this section, and on our blogs, show ways to use a program locator type mapping platform to support the growth of needed youth and family services in high poverty areas.  Even though the Chicago Program Locator is not working, the examples are still models that others could apply in other places.

The Tutor/Mentor Connection/Institute, LLC is an information-based resource to help people build and sustain volunteer-based tutor/mentor programs reaching youth in high poverty neighborhoods of Chicago and other cities.
