Tutor/Mentor Exchange - Make a Change

The Tutor/Mentor Connection operates from at least seven web sites that we own, and hundreds of other sites owned by others. In the Tutor/Mentor Connection.org site we host more than 1500 links, pointing to information created by others around the world. Our goal is to help you learn to use that information to expand your understanding of where volunteer-based tutor/mentor programs are needed, the differences between different types of programs, and the actions people in business, philanthropy, government and other sectors can do to help world-class tutor/mentor programs operate in every high poverty neighborhood.

One of our goals of the Tutor/Mentor Connection (T/MC) is to "collect all that is known" about tutoring/mentoring and education-to-careers in a "library" of knowledge that anyone can draw from at any time to help kids from a poverty neighborhood get the adult support they need to move to careers. View this animated (flash) RESOURCE MAP to learn more about the information we collect and share.

View this animated (Flash) STRATEGY MAP to better understand the goals of the Tutor/Mentor Connection and the purpose of the pdf essays (see library) on this web site. One of the essays is named, Defining Terms PDF. It illustrates how the words tutoring and mentoring mean different things to different people. Thus, while we seem to be saying the same things we have different understanding, and thus different commitments to any long-term set of actions.

Helping kids requires more than volunteer tutors and mentors. It means some people are providing dollars. Some provide training and technology. Some help communicate information to kids, volunteers, parents and donors. Can you be part of this team?

Support a team! Cabrini Madness, running till April 1, 2010, is one of many events we host throughout the year. These build public awareness for tutoring/mentoring, bring program leaders together to share ideas, and raise money to pay to keep the lights on. We'll post some of these on this web site and at Cabrini Connections, but we'll also use our fund raising blog to keep you updated.

I hope you'll join us for these events and use the information on this site to help all kids born in poverty be starting jobs and careers by age 25, with the help of volunteers in structured tutor/mentor programs.
