| One
way to help a youth move through school to a career is to connect as
a tutor, mentor, leader or donor in a comprehensive, volunteer-based
tutor/mentor program. Another way is to lead strategies that draw
volunteers from every industry, profession, social and ethnic group to
tutor/mentor programs serving K-12 youth in neighborhoods with high
concentrations of poverty or poorly performing schools.
Below is a list of Chicago organizations
serving youth living in Hispanic neighborhoods. The web sites provide
you with plenty of information that you can use to decide how to
volunteer your time, talent or treasure to help any of these programs do
more to help youth move to careers.
