How Can I Become Involved with Tutor/Mentor Programs?

There are many different volunteer-based tutoring and mentoring programs in the Chicago area. In addition to needing tutor/mentors, many programs also seek volunteers to be leaders, organizers and fundraisers and to provide administrative and technical support.

Find a program that suits you. As a volunteer, you should choose a program that fits your schedule, serves an age group you are comfortable with, and has the potential to become a long-term commitment.

Use the Program Locator to find more information about tutor/mentor programs in the Chicago area and locate the program that’s right for you. Or visit the Links to Chicago-area Programs section to find the resource you’re looking for.

If you are looking for a program outside of Chicagoland, you can find several national tutor/mentor program search engines in the Volunteer Centers & Recognition Programs page of our Links section.

Volunteer with us. T/MC depends on its own army of volunteers and orchestra of donors to help it do its work. Visit the Volunteer for T/MC page to learn more about the opportunities available through T/MC. Call (312-492-9614) or email us if you're interested in volunteering.

Help Spread the Word!

Help spread the word! T/MC has created a Volunteer Recruitment Advertisement (pdf) that you can place in your business or church newsletter or local newspaper to draw potential volunteers and donors to the Program Locator section of this Web site.

Update the Program Locator information for your tutor/mentor program. More than 240 listings are included in the T/MC database of Chicago area tutoring and/or mentoring programs. While we try to keep the information current, we have made is possible for individual programs to log in and keep their own information up-to-date. If you have a program, but it is not listed, you can create a new account and add your program.
