The Tutor/Mentor Connection seeks to help local non profits recruit volunteers throughout the year. However, as school starts each year, we lead an extra effort to mobilize volunteers for tutor/mentor programs. See how your business, faith group, or social network can take a lead in this effort.
There is no more critical an issue in America today than the education of our kids. The gap between rich and poor is growing because of the huge differences in educational opportunities available to kids in the inner cities and those in more affluent areas. The real work and responsibility of helping these children must be shared by every business, institution, and individual in Chicago and the suburbs. We all need to continually ask “What can I do to help make a brighter future a reality for our children?”
Search the Chicago Tutor/Mentor Program Locator to find a program where you can volunteer, time, talent and/or dollars.
Tutor/Mentor Connection maps, such as those in the Map Gallery and the Chicago Tutor/Mentor Program Locator, show where poverty and poorly performing schools are located in the Chicago area and where existing tutor/mentor programs operate. The volunteer recruitment campaign aims to draw volunteers to tutor/mentor programs operating in these parts of the city.
The campaign’s timing is linked to the start of each school year when all tutor/mentor programs in the region are looking for volunteers. The campaign officially kicks off in early August and runs through September.
