Tutor/Mentor Leadership and Networking Conference -- May 27 and 28, 2010
Visit the conference web site to learn more. Speakers and workshop presenters proposals are now being accepted.  Join us on-line and be part of the planning

While the Tutor/Mentor Institute (this web site) hosts articles and ideas of the Tutor/Mentor Connection, the http://www.tutormentorconnection.org web site is a library with links to more than 1400 other organizations. It is constantly being updated as each organization updates their own web sites, and as we add new links.

Our aim is to encourage leaders and supporters of these different organizations to connect in face-to-face and on-line forums, where they share ideas, build relationships and learn to solve problems that individual organizations cannot solve on their own.  Below are links to the May and November Tutor/Mentor Leadershiop and Networking Conference in Chicago and to on-line places where T/MC invites people to connect, or where T/MC connects with others.

Hear what past participants have said:

The conferences were started in 1994 as a way to bring together the different organizations who responded to a survey launched in January 1994 to identify as many organizations as possible who were offering various forms of volunteer-based tutoring and/or mentoring.

It was also part of a strategy intended to draw greater media attention to tutoring/mentoring, and as a result, draw volunteers and donors to the various programs in Chicago.

As the T/MC began to expand its database of programs, as well as other stakeholders, it began to create a library of articles and information that leaders could draw from. When the T/MC began to use the Internet in 1997, this library expanded to include links to tutor/mentor programs in different parts of the country, as well as to resources related to learning, workforce development, and the operations of successful non profits.

Thus the conference began to attract people from more places than Chicago, and with more roles than just operating a tutor/mentor program.  As a result, the T/MC now is networking and sharing ideas with people in all parts of the world, through a variety of online communities and work spaces.
