The next Tutor/Mentor Conference will be May 29 and 30, 2008.   We hope that you will attend if you can.

However, we know most people cannot come to Chicago for our conference, so we are looking for other ways to connect.  One way to expand our network is through blog exchanges and by joining together in on-line forums.

Thus, we're inviting people who are concerned about poverty, poor schools, diversity, public health, or workforce development, and who view tutor/mentor programs as a way to get more adults involved in solving these problems, to connect with us on line.

The Tutor/Mentor Connection hosts a blog at http://tutormentor.blogspot.com and we've created communities in other places. You can share ideas in the T/MC Forum, or join us at at http://tutormentorconnection.ning.com

These are just two examples of  how you can exchange ideas with us, and create your own networking community, focused on your city, or the type of tutoring/mentoring that you do.

During the May and November conferences, or the August/September Volunteer Recruitment Campaign, we encourage you to create discussions which draw attention to tutor/mentor programs in your own community at the same time as we're drawing attention to programs in Chicago. 

If you include a link to http://tutormentor.blogspot.com and/or http://www.tutormentorconnection.org, we'll add your link to the list of blog exchange partners, and encourage people to visit your site and read your blog, too.

Just email tutormentor2@earthlink.net and tell us where your blog is located. Or submit your link on the T/MC Blog List hosted on our main web site.
