Following the recruitment of volunteers, every program will spend the rest of
the school year working to train those volunteers to be effective tutors and
mentors and change-agents in the lives of youth. Some volunteers will even
become leaders and will help build more and better tutor/mentor programs. We
encourage you to participate in the November and Spring
Tutor/Mentor Leadership
Conference to network and learn from leaders of other programs.
Please consider becoming a sponsor of this
campaign and the Tutor/Mentor Connection. To make a contribution, visit the Lend
A Hand section. To learn how you or your company, church group, hospital or
alumni group can be involved, email tutormentor2@earthlink.net
While this campaign focuses on Chicago, the T/MC's goal is that it is
duplicated in cities across America. You are invited to join our
internet-based planning forums
to use our planning for your community. If you'd like to invite the T/MC to
serve as a consultant to your city planners on a more formal basis, email tutormentor2@earthlink.net
