Visit http://cabriniblog.blogspot.com and view photos from the 2007 year end dinner. This celebrates the 15th year of providing tutoring/mentoring to Cabrini Green youth.

View the Cabrini Connections, Tutor/Mentor Connection timeline and see how this organization has grown from the vision of a few volunteers.  Click on the 1965 to 1992 timeline to see how this vision started more than 40 years ago.

On May 31, 2007 Oprah Winfrey, Essence Cares and its partners (including the National Urban League, 100 Black Men of America, Inc., and YWCA), and MENTOR/National Mentoring Partnership launched a call for 1,000,000 new mentors.  View a video clip.

We hope that as this partnership raises visibility for mentoring, it will cause more people to view the infrastructure needed to make comprehensive, volunteer-based tutoring/mentoring programs more available to kids in every inner city neighborhood. That's the goal of the Tutor/Mentor Connection.

While a May announcement of a new campaign to recruit mentors is welcome, we hope it leads to more businesses, churches, hospitals and univertisit providing leadership needed in August to help mobilize volunteers as schools starts, and in November/December, to help  mobilize donors as the  year end holidays stimulate giving.
