Our challenge: Connecting busy people from multiple sectors. Changing flow of resources.
* Join forum at Tutor/Mentor Connection Ning site * Join discussion at Debategraph site hosted in UK * Join on Social Media sites.
Using maps, charts, on-line learning and networking and other forms of face-to-face and web based communications, the T/MC aim is to focus daily attention on issues of poverty and strategies that connect those who can help with those who need help. We hope to educate volunteers and donors to be shoppers, who search the Chicago Tutor/Mentor Program Locator to find places where they give time, talent and dollars to help expand the network of support for inner city kids attending poorly performing schools.
By showing what's possible, we hope to move corporations, foundations, media and organizations that already operate youth development, tutoring and/or mentoring programs beyond what they are doing to what they can be doing. |

T/MC Conference Expands to On-line Learning and Networking, and Blog Exchanges
T/MC recognizes that no organization can attend every conference that is offered. Few people will ever attend the T/MC conference. Thus, our goal is that before and after the May and November Conferences people connect through the Internet.
There are a growing number of ways to connect. Facebook, Linked in, Twitter, and on-line groups like http://tutormentorconnection.ning.com are now available. A Blog Exchange, or carnival, is another way to connect tutor/mentor programs, volunteers and supporters in on-line interaction around the topics that will be discussed during the Chicago conference.
Blogs can be stand alone web pages, or part of on-line communities. The Tutor/Mentor Connection blog is http://tutormentor.blogspot.com. On this page you can see blog articles written by interns working with us in Chicago.
