Cabrini Connections' Success Steps
By nsbyrer @ 4:09 PM :: 1605 Views :: :: Cabrini Connections |
The Tutor/Mentor Connection (T/MC) draws its inspiration from the Cabrini Connections tutor/mentor program which meets at 800 W. Huron in Chicago.
Note: Volunteers who first joine Cabrini Connections between 1993 and 1997 helped create the Tutor/Mentor Connection and have helped raise all of the money that funds the Tutor/Mentor Connection. At the same time, the growth of the Tutor/Mentor Connection has helped recruit volunteers and donors to support Cabrini Connections.
We encourage other tutor/mentor organizations to duplicate this strategy, leading T/MC type learning, networking and collaboration activities in a neighborhood or in an entire city.
