Tutor/Mentor Conference, Nov. 21 at Chicago Field Museum
By tutormentor2 @ 11:58 AM :: 75 Views :: Events, Mentoring, T/MC, Tutoring, Volunteering
Mark your calendar and plan to attend the Nov. 21, 2008 Tutor/Mentor Leadership and Networking Conference which will be held at the Chicago Field Museum.  This conference intends to showcase the work being done by various tutoring and/or mentoring programs, share effective practices via networking and workshops, and draw greater public attention to tutor/mentor programs throughout the region.  One of our goals is to help program build blogs, such as this one we helped a group in Roseland area of Chicago create.  If you want help starting a blog like this email tutormentor2@earthlink.net

TutorMatch demonstrates role leaders in business can take
By tutormentor2 @ 3:05 PM :: 133 Views :: Advocacy, Funding and Philanthropy, Mentoring, Technology, Tutoring
I encourage you to read the article posted on the Homework Help Today blog written by Diane Palumbo, based in New Jersey.  This shows how leaders in different industry can use their blogs and advertising to draw resources to volunteer-based tutor/mentor programs.  I hope that more people will duplicate this, especially as we're in a difficult economic time and volunteer-based programs are searching for donations to support the work they do.

Share your story. Tell about your program or what you do to support tutor/mentor programs
By tutormentor2 @ 10:27 AM :: 174 Views :: Funding and Philanthropy, Mentoring, T/MC, Tutoring, Volunteering
Blogs are a great, low-cost, strategy for telling the story of a tutor/mentor program. Cabrini Connections uses blogs by several staff members and volunteers.  If you are using a blog to talk about your tutor/mentor program, or to show why and how your company or foundation supports tutor/mentor programs, we encourage you to introduce your blog by adding a link to this site, and by introducing it in the Discussion Forum or with an Article.

Volunteer Recruitment Strategy
By tutormentor2 @ 10:39 AM :: 923 Views :: Events, Mentoring, Tutoring, Volunteering

One of the most proven ways to recruit new volunteers is to have your current volunteers ask friends and co-workers to volunteer with them.  We've created a template letter that you can use. Just personalize it with your own information and experiences.  If  you'd like to have more male volunteers, ask your volunteers to just send this to five men they know who might volunteer. If you're looking for technology help, send it to technology people.

Visit the Discussion Forum to share your own recruitment strategies or to join with the Tutor/Mentor Connection in a citywide volunteer mobilization effort.
