If you're part of a #Chicago youth #tutor #mentor program you probably can find your organization on this Kumu visualization. There are many organizations from beyond Chicago, too.

Heading into 2026 I hope to connect w people who share these interests: #tutor #mentor #tutormentor #youthdevelopment #workforcedevelopment #nonschoolhours #birthtowork #volunteer #complexproblems #socialcapital, #maps, #systemsthinking #leadership #clmooc #networkanalysis #conceptmaps

If you're leading a youth #tutor #mentor program, or starting one, this page should be a resource you visit often. tutormentorexchange.net/how-to-start...

This is the www.tutormentorexchange.net website. In the middle a section of articles titled "How to Start and Sustain a Volunteer-Based Tutor/Mentor Program" is featured.

Pick one or more #Chicago area youth #tutor #mentor programs to receive a year-end gift. Use my map and lists.

In Dec. 2005 I wrote about the challenges of raising money for small #tutor #mentor programs. I included that in this 2025 article. tutormentor.blogspot.com/2025/12/same...

Are any of you connected to people involved w volunteer-based #tutor #mentor programs? Are they on Mastodon? Please make introductions.

I led such programs for 35 years, from 1975 to 2011. My blog aims to help similar programs get the ideas and resources each needs to operate for that long.

This is a youth and volunteer doing homework in a Chicago tutor/mentor program that I led.

It's part of an article where I point to lists with contact information for more than 100 of these programs.

This was what I wrote on the #Tutor #Mentor blog in December 2005 - 20 years ago. tutormentor.blogspot.com/2005/12/crea...

This is a December 2005 article on the Tutor/Mentor blog. It starts with "Creating a Service and Learning Organization that Mentors Kids to Careers: My 2006 Resolution"

Then it says, "If you've read some of the messages I've posted to this Blog you'll see that I lead a small non profit that seeks to connect workplace volunteers with children and youth living in neighborhoods of highly concentrated poverty.

Our goal is to create an organized framework that encourages volunteers to serve as tutors, mentors, coaches, advocates, friends, leaders in on-going efforts that make a life-changing difference for these kids. By life-changing, I mean that the kids will not be living in poverty when they are adults because they will have the academic, social/emotional and workplace skills needed for 21st century jobs, plus a network of adults who can and will open doors to jobs and mentor them in careers."

Ten years ago this was what I wrote on the #tutor #mentor blog. tutormentor.blogspot.com/2015/12/what...

This 2015 article starts with the question, "What are all the things we need to do to help kids move from birth to work?""

I've used #maps since 1994 to show where volunteer-based #tutor #mentor programs are needed & to point resource providers, parents & volunteers to existing programs in #chicago. tutormentor.blogspot.com/2023/02/what... Does someone in your community do this?

This is the front cover of the 1995 Tutor/mentor Connection Chicago Programs Directory. It includes a map of Chicago with high poverty areas shaded. The stars on the map are locations of tutor/mentor programs that are included in the Directory.

I've shared my lists of #Chicago #tutor #mentor programs since 1994. Who in your city has a similar map/list? I use this to draw attention & resources to every program. https://tutormentor.blogspot.com/2025/06/help-volunteer-based-youth-tutor-mentor.html

Green icons on this map are locations of volunteer-based tutor, mentor and learning programs in Chicago. This draws from a list of programs that Tutor/Mentor Connection (1993-present) started building in 1993.

Year-end giving provides needed funding for 2026 operations. This section of #tutor #mentor library points to many crowdfunding and fund raising resources. tutormentorexchange.net/resource-lin...

This is a page in the Tutor/Mentor Connection (1993-present) and Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC (2011-present) resource library. It shares links to crowd funding and fund raising resources. It's part of a much larger library started in the 1990s and aimed to help donors and volunteers connect more consistently and proactively to volunteer-based youth-serving organizations in high poverty areas of cities like Chicago.

Use lists like mine to shop for volunteer-based #tutor #mentor programs which you can support w GivingTuesday & year-end gifts.

RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:eabbjcxbu7vlvybsmksh6i52/post/3m6k4n7wjtc2w

Help volunteer-based #tutor #mentor programs reach youth in high poverty areas of the Chicago region by making #GivingTuesday & year-end donations to one, or many, programs on my lists. Do the same in other cities if you can find a list with a majority of programs.

RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:eabbjcxbu7vlvybsmksh6i52/post/3m6k4n7wjtc2w

I point to more than 100 #Chicago area #tutor #mentor programs from tutormentorexchange.net/chicago-area... I've picked a few to support every #GivingTuesday w small contributions. I urge others to do the same. I support the same ones each year because I know the value of on-going support.
