The Tutor/Mentor Connection believes that a web site can be a text book and a library, as well as a place to meet, learn and collaborate. We've organized this site to help visitors find information to help them operate a tutor/mentor program, or to build a network of support for one or more tutor/mentor programs in a city or geographic area. This site is for business and foundation leaders, media, political and faith leaders, as well as educators, tutors, mentors, and tutor/mentor program leaders. We're constantly looking for ways to help you find and use this information. We rely almost totally on volunteers to do this work. You don't need to be in Chicago to help maintain and facilitate understanding of the information on this site.
