Volunteers Talent, Time or Dollars to Help Inner-City Youth.

Since 1995 the Tutor/Mentor Connection has organized an annual volunteer recruitment campaign in Chicago to help all tutor/mentor programs attract volunteers.  You can learn about more than 150 organizations that offer various forms of volunteer based tutoring and/or mentoring by using the  Program Locator Directory.   You can also browse a list of nearly 200 youth organization web sites at this link.

As you become involved with any of these programs expand your knowledge and impact by using the ideas and resources shared on the Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC web sites. Our aim is to help constantly improving k-12 tutor/mentor programs reach more youth, and help more move through school and into jobs and careers.

Join the Recruitment Planning Team
The Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC is looking for volunteers to help collect and maintain the information in the Program Locator Directory of Chicago tutoring/mentoring programs, and to help build and maintain web platforms that others can use to find different places throughout the Chicago region where they can help.  Help is also needed to organize the November and May Tutor/Mentor Leadership and Networking Conferences.  Visit the Groups section of the Tutor/Mentor Forum and join a group that interests you.

On this web site and others, the Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC and Tutor/Mentor Connection share many ideas that can be used by business, political, faith and philanthropic leaders on this web site, not just ideas that leaders and volunteers in tutor/mentor programs can use. We seek volunteers and partners to help communicate these ideas to larger numbers of people and to act as facilitators and consultants to help thousands of groups use this information to help high quality tutor/mentor programs grow in more places where they are needed.

One way you can take part in the T/MC volunteer recruitment campaign is by participating in a Blog Exchange with the T/MC and others who are recruiting volunteers, or by volunteer-recruitment and conference planning committees on the T/MC Ning Forum. With your help we can build a collective effort that enlists more programs, businesses and churches in helping mobilize volunteers for tutor/mentor programs throughout Chicago and in other cities.
