forums where people share ideas, get help, vent, or call for
action, the forums hosted by the Tutor/Mentor Connection are all focused
at building capacity of tutor/mentor programs serving youth in poverty
areas of major cities like Chicago.
We welcome anyone to join, but ask that you come prepared to share your knowledge and your actions to accomplish the goals of the groups you join. From the President:

Dan Bassill, president of Cabrini Connections
and the Tutor/Mentor
Connection. I created this organization in 1993 to help our leaders and volunteers be more effective in mentoring Cabrini-Green teens to careers, and to help people from around the world find information, and friends, that can help them become more strategic in efforts to help kids move from poverty to jobs and careers. Our history goes back to 1965, when volunteers from the Montgomery Ward corporation in Chicago began tutoring 2nd to 6th grade youth in the Cabrini Green neighborhood. See Timeline. The Tutor/Mentor Connection is a constantly expanding information library because the links go to other organizations that are also growing at a rapid pace and where innovation abounds.
