By nsbyrer @ 4:48 PM :: 5633 Views :: Article Rating :: Events, Planning, Tutoring
The dates and location for the May 2007 Tutor/Mentor Leadership Conference have been announced. The Spring 2007 Tutor/Mentor Leadership and Networking Conference will be held on May 17 and 18, 2007 at the Northwestern University Law School, 375 E. Chicago Ave, Chicago, Il 60610 in partnership with the Children & Family Justice Center at the Northwestern University Law School (CFJC). If you would like to be involved, email the Tutor/Mentor Connection or call 312-492-9614.

At this point we do not have a location for a November 2006 conference in Chicago. The T/MC is continuing to look for a way to do this, while also looking for partners to host on-line forums in November that connect Chicago programs and volunteers with peers in other cities.

If you are already hosting a volunteer based tutor/mentor conference, or on-line forum, and would like to Link it with the T/MC network, please email tutormentor2@earthlink.net.

Faith-based tutoring/mentoring strategies that any group can benefit from
By nsbyrer @ 4:34 PM :: 9636 Views :: Article Rating :: Planning
One person trained twelve human beings who went o­n to so influence the world that time itself is now recorded as being before (B.C.) or after (A.D.) his existence.

This quote was taken from the introduction of the book "Jesus, CEO: Using Ancient Wisdom for Visionary Leadership", written by Laurie Beth Jones and published by Hyperion.It shows how much power o­ne person has to change the world. We hope it inspires church leaders to use there communications systems to change the future for millions of at-risk youth throughout America, and the world.

Note:

Faith based leaders are encouraged to launch a discussion forum o­n this web site to innovate strategies that engage more faith leaders in the evangelism needed to make comprehensive, volunteer-based tutor/mentor programs available in more places.

To media, foundation leaders, philanthropists, CEOs, faith leaders, polititians, deep thinkers, etc.

Since 1993 the Tutor/Mentor Connection (T/MC) has been attempting to build a GIS mapping capacity and to make it an available tool for any leader to use in developing strategies that help kids living in urban poverty get the resources they need to help them succeed in school and life. While some have responded positively to this, we're still a voice in the wilderness and depend mostly o­n volunteers to do our work.


Note: Read about the Tutor/Mentor Connection's GIS strategy.  Join the GIS discussion forum and become a partner in our effort to create an interactive GIS that teaches volunteers, donors and business partners to choose where to deliver help based o­n where the need is greatests, what organizations are in those areas, and where the company does business.
