Technology volunteers/partners needed! The Tutor/Mentor Connection (T/MC) is now supported under the operating structure of Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC, which is no longer a 501-c-3. However, there still is no consistent funding to pay for the work we do. Thus we are in need of help from volunteers who can re-build the key web sites of the tutor/mentor connection and help us maintain the information on our web sites, find new ways to attract visitors and help them navigate the information, and develop some of the Network-Building web pages that are key to connecting the people we've met over the past 30 years with us and each other. If you or your company or university want to donate time to this project please email tutormentor2@earthlink.net. You can also connect with Dan Bassill via Skype ....dbassill is Dan's handle.
Form a Leadership Group! The Tutor/Mentor Connection (T/MC) and Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC continue to draw volunteers and donors to tutor/mentor programs in Chicago the same way that retailers use advertising to draw shoppers to their stores, banks, or fast food restaurants. This website, and our map-based program locator, provide information that anyone can use to build a better understanding of where and why volunteer-based tutor/mentor programs are needed. With this information, your leadership group can mobilize volunteers and donors to support a single program, all programs in a zip code, or all programs in the entire city. As more groups take this role, each non profit tutor/mentor program will be strengthened and more kids will be connected to extra adults and extra learning in the non-school hours.
Read the essays posted in the Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC library and form learning groups in your company, faith group, college and/or high school so you can use this information to help volunteer-based tutor/mentor programs grow where they are needed.
Not from Chicago? Want to be a Partner? There never was much money for the intermediary role of the Tutor/Mentor Connection. So far there still are no sponsors or clients providing money to help us do this work, or help them understand how to apply these ideas. If you want to help figure out ways to generate revenue and build long-lasting partnership, your talent and need is needed.
Contact the Tutor/Mentor Connection at tutormentor2@earthlink.net to schedule a time to talk.
