Partners for the Tutor/Mentor Conferences
This graphic shows many of the intermediary organizations operating in the
Chicago region, each with a goal of helping youth. You can find links to each
web site

The conference is offered two times a year. However it is part of a year-round
Collaboration Strategy,
inviting all of these organizations to connect, share ideas, and help tutor/mentor programs grow
in many places. This
animation shows the T/MC event strategy, and illustrates how individuals
from many places can take leadership roles.
Interns from IIT, Loyola,
Northwestern, Michigan, and other universities are doing this work, which
illustrates a creative way for others to use their talent to mobilize resources
for tutor/mentor programs in Chicago and other cities.

Want to help plan
the Tutor/Mentor
Conferences?
The Tutor/Mentor Connection (T/MC) is now a program of the
Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC. We continue to depend on the volunteer
actions
of many individuals and organization to organize the May and November
Conferences each year. All of our speakers are volunteers who donate
their time. Many come from other cities and pay for their own travel
and lodging expenses. Without this help, we could not keep the fees for
the conference so low or offer as many scholarships as we do. In this
way, all of our speakers are partners in this effort. We thank
you all.
This Talent Map shows the range of skills needed to support the growth of high quality tutor/mentor programs in Chicago and other cities. If you have these skills, and share our vision, please introduce yourself and offer your help and/or partnership.
We seek volunteers and partners from business, faith
groups, colleges and area Tutor/Mentor Programs who view the T/MC conference as part of their own
commitment to make more effective volunteer-based tutoring and/or mentoring
programs available to economically disadvantaged kids living in neighborhoods
with high violence, high poverty, and many poorly performing schools. Partners
can come from businesses, universities, local tutor/mentor programs, schools,
foundations, and any sector of society. They can even come from beyond Chicago.
They even come from other countries.
