The information on this web site seeks to support the reflection, understanding and actions of any group of people who want to help children and youth escape their birth in extreme poverty through education and the support of extended networks of caring adults.

If you would like to help the T/MC maintain this information, or would like to lead discussions in the T/MC forum, to help others find and use these links, we would be happy to have your help. You don't need to be in Chicago to take this role. We're looking for colleges and universities who would like to share this responsibility as a teaching and collaboration process.

The T/MC adds new links to this site each week. However, we choose links to organizations who are also constantly updating information on their sites and adding new links to other organizaitons.

That means that your best use of this site is to know it like your local library, and to browse the sections regularly to see what's been added. Here are a few links that you can find on this web site (use the search feature to find these web site links):

In the Program Management section of the LINKS library, are numerous links to organizations that teach concepts of collaboration, knowledge management, innovation & creativity, and e-learning. If you visit these sites, you can learn to apply these concepts in your own organization, by learning from experts such as the National Network for Collaboration and others.
