maps-and-whats-possible and build your understanding of how the Tutor/Mentor Connection is using maps to draw resour ces directly to all of the different tutor/mentor programs operating in the Chicago region. If leaders in faith groups, colleges, businesses and professional groups point employees and customers, and their own philanthropy, to the programs showing in different neighborhoods, each program will be stronger because it has multiple sources of support, while each program will also benefit from a lower-cost of finding resources. If you're in another city and want to duplicate this strategy to support youth program in your own area, we'd like to help you. If you're focused on another issue, like mental health clinics, or adoption agencies, or senior centers, mapping can be used in the same way and for the same purpose. Join the discussion on SOCIAL EDGE and learn from us, while sharing your own ideas of how maps can be used to support an entire universe of social service and poverty-fighting organizations in a city like Chicago. |
