The MISSION of the Tutor/Mentor Connection (T/MC) is to provide an organized framework that empowers and encourages adult volunteers to give their time, effort, ideas and advocacy in seeking life-changing solutions for children living in educationally and economically disadvantaged environments such as the Cabrini-Green housing development in Chicago.
This mission is accomplished through a four-part strategy.
1) It aims to increase knowledge about what works, where programs are located and where more are needed.
2) It aggressively shares this knowledge in a marketing and public awareness campaign aimed at
3) creating a greater involvement of all adults, and a greater flow of essential resources to individual programs; and a
4) better understanding among all stakeholders of the long-term, integrated actions needed to help children and youth move from a birth in poverty to a job and a career.
For each child this is a minimum 25-year commitment. The Tutor/Mentor Connection goals are illustrated by this Power Point essay: Connecting those who can help with those who need help |
