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.

If we can teach charities and donors to choose a cause and find an information portal, such as this, that shows the long-term work needed for a tutor/mentor program to help a youth to a career, then we can teach the donor to pick a charity based on where the need is greatest (map) and what organization is providing service in that zip code (Program Locator). once a donor gets to the few tutor/mentor program choices that exist in a zip code, it is up to the donor to determine how much he/wants to help, then write a check and send it to the organization. If an organization maintains a web site that shows why they are needed, where they are needed, where they operate and what services they provide, the donor should be able to choose between multiple organizations providing the same service in the same neighborhood. If your tutor/mentor program has a web site, you can put its link in the LINKS section of this web site. You can also email tutormentor2@earthlink.net to add it to the Program Locator database.

Visit the Education to Career Links section of the Tutor/Mentor Library to find ideas and resources to help your organization build its strategy for mentoring kids to careers.  Join the Discussion forum to share ideas and collaborate o­n strategies that give you the resources needed to put these good ideas to work in your program or community.
