Celebrate Mentoring. Support Youth Programs
Happy New Year to all who open and read this monthly newsletter. It's January, so that means National Mentoring Month.

As I do every month, this newsletter focuses on sharing ideas that help build and sustain mentor-rich, volunteer-based youth programs that reach K-12 youth in high poverty neighborhoods.

Take a look. Please share with your friends and family.
Use this newsletter as a study guide.
The ideas and resources shared in this monthly newsletter point to a library of resources that can be used by anyone, in Chicago, or around the world, to help mentor-rich youth programs thrive in all of the neighborhoods where they are most needed.

Celebrate National Mentoring Month - every Month!
During January there will be weekly activities that focus attention on mentoring and recognize youth and volunteers who are involved. At the end of the month will be the annual Mentoring Summit, which will be held virtually again this year due to Covid19.

Chicago Area Tutor and/or Mentor Programs

You can now find a list of Chicago area programs that include various forms of volunteer-based tutoring and/or mentoring at this link.

These are organizes by the section of the city or suburbs where the organization is located.
These programs are also shown on a map at this link.

If you know of programs that are not listed, or no longer operating, please contact Dan Bassill at tutormentor 2 at earthlink.net.
Additional youth serving programs
In the new version of the library greater emphasis is given to other types of youth serving organizations in Chicago, as well as to tutor/mentor programs and networks throughout the USA and the world.

All represent models that leaders in any city can learn from in efforts to constantly try to make every program world class in how well it serves youth and volunteers.

Resource Library
This is the home page of the Tutor/Mentor Resource Links library. Find the link on the left side of the www.tutormentorexchange.net site, under HOT LINKS.

There are 19 categories ranging from philanthropy, to volunteer recruitment, to technology and community building and collaboration. When you open this page all 19 categories will also appear on the left side under HOT LINKS.

Each category has a link that opens to a page that shows sub categories. See an example below.
Sub Categories of library
This section has links focused on poverty, inequality, social justice, prevention, housing and community development, gangs and more. It has 8 sub categories.

When you open any sub category link you'll find a list of websites, in alphabetical order.

New sites are added regularly so visit often.
Law, Justice Links
This is the list of links under the "law, justice links" category. Scroll through the list to see what's there. Open any link to go to the organization's website.

As I've built the library I've also looked for Twitter accounts and added these to lists on my @tutormentorteam account.

Every category in the library follows this format.
Concept Map Library
Pages in the concept map library will continue to point to sections in the new Tutor/Mentor web library. This is the "research" cMap.
