Vision: people from around the world are connected in an on-going sharing of information, ideas and actions that build mentoring-to-career networks of service for youth born in poverty.

The next face-to-face Tutor/Mentor Leadership Conference will be held at the Northwestern University School of Law, 365 E. Chicago Ave. Registration is open.

Visit http://www.tutormentorconference.org to learn more about the Chicago conference.

If you can't come to Chicago, can you connect through the Internet? The T/MC has been organizing on-line forums so tutor/mentor leaders and supporters who can't come to Chicago for the conferences can network, share ideas and discuss conference topics with each other, and with those who do come to Chicago, in an on-line environment.  

There are a growing number of ways to connect. A Blog Exchange, or carnival, is one way to connect tutor/mentor programs, volunteers and supporters in on-line interaction around the topics that will be discussed during the Chicago conference.

However, now blogs and causes can be launched in Facebook, MySpace, ning.com and other forums.  If you are part of such a forum, please let us know where you're meeting so we can join you.

We aim to repeat the Blog Exchange in November as part of the conference strategy. However, we also seek partners who can host webnars and other forms of on-line learning and networking. These events could be hosted from anywhere in the world.  If you would like to present a workshop or partner in the Blog Exchange or other on-line forums, email tutormentor2@earthlink.net to discuss your involvement.
