The information on this website is for anyone who wants to create better strategies and programs to help kids in high poverty neighborhoods of big cities. It is for resource providers, political and faith leaders, business leaders, and for those who lead and volunteer in non profit organizations working with inner city youth.
This is one of many websites hosted by the Tutor/Mentor Connection (T/MC), a small Chicago non profit. The T/MC is dedicated to improving the availability and quality of comprehensive, long-term, volunteer-based tutor/mentor programs in high-poverty areas of the Chicago region and other large US cities through an ongoing, dynamic exchange of ideas.
If you have been doing research on this topic for many years or if you read a story today about violence in Chicago, NYC, or another city, we invite you to explore the many resources and discussion forums available to you on this website.
If this is your first time visiting us, our Getting Started page is a great place to begin.
