Starfish, illustrates the T/MC role as a catalyst in building a
decentralized network of leaders who support volunteer-based tutor/mentor
programs.

The Tutor/Mentor Connection's vision is to create an organized structure that
recruits thousands of workplace to serve as "tutors, mentors, leaders
and change-agents" in neighborhood programs that seek to help inner-city
kids stay in school, stay safe in the non-school hours, and be in jobs and
starting careers by age 25.

We began creating the T/MC in 1993 and launched it in 1994. Read the
T/MC Case PDF to see our goals.
One of our goals is to "collect all that is known" about
tutoring/mentoring and education-to-careers in a "library" of
knowledge that anyone can draw from at any time to help kids from a poverty
neighborhood get the adult support they need to move to careers.
We are attempting to collect information from
around the world, and to sequence it as a "blueprint" that anyone in
the world can use to help youth born in poverty be in jobs and careers by age
25.
As a result, we are connecting with mentoring
networks in other countries, and other parts of the USA. Here you can review comments
prepared for Learning Mentors Conference
held
in England, in June 2007.
Visit the LINKS section of The Tutor/Mentor
Connection web site, and you'll find hundreds of links that can be a
resource for you and others. This is an interactive site, where you can
add your own LINKS and use the forums to discuss your work and your visions.

This "tutor/mentor learning network" is beginning to come together.
People from around the country and around the world visit this web site every
week. The essays at the right are short illustrations of key
T/MC strategies or visions. We invite you to read them, borrow from them,
show them to others, and even improve them.
Each essay can be expanded into a training manual and a text book,
which we hope will be used to be
teach what we and others know --in an organized manner -- so that an industry of
tutor/mentor leaders grows and that leaders all over the world
will be more effective at building and sustaining organizations that mentor
youth to careers.
