@wbez.org & the Chicago SunTimes posted an article about changing demographics in the suburbs. I shared it at tutormentor.blogspot.com/2026/02/chan... I'm looking for similar showing economic diversity. This would show where #tutor #mentor programs are most needed. Anyone w such maps?

This is a map in a WBEZ and Chicago SunTimes article about changing demographics in the Chicago Suburbs. I shared it on the Tutor/Mentor blog in an article asking for information about volunteer-based tutor, mentor and learning programs in the region.

It's Super Bowl week. This is what I wrote on the #Tutor #Mentor blog in 2007, tutormentor.blogspot.com/2007/01/go-b...

It's #MentoringMonth. Has your #tutor #mentor program planning started for the 2025-6 program? Here's some ideas to consider. danielbassill319958.substack.com/p/start-plan...

This headline says "Start planning for fall 2026 tutor/mentor programs. While it's only January, the "next year" planning cycle should be growing. This is from an article on Substack.com

I just started following #ComplexSystems

Since 2005 I've tagged more than 200 of my #tutor #mentor blog articles with #complexProblems

I invite you to skim through these and borrow freely. https://tutormentor.blogspot.com/search/label/complex%20problems

This is one slide from a #tutor #mentor visual essay that I shared at danielbassill319958.substack.com/p/january-is... Building the public will needed to make these supports consistently available in all high poverty areas has been my goal for over 30 years.

This graphic says "In areas with chronic poverty and consistently poor schools, children need support from a full range of tutors and mentors.

A map of Chicago shows high poverty areas. The supports that are needed, from left to right are
- good teachers
- professional tutors
- in-school volunteer tutors
- non-school volunteer tutors
- mentors
- organized, on-going, tutor, mentor programs
- involved parents

This @kumu.io@bsky.brid.gy visualization shows participation in 1994-2015 #Tutor #Mentor conferences held in #Chicago. tutormentor.blogspot.com/2025/12/take... Many of the youth programs on my lists can be found if you enlarge portions of the map, or focus on a single event. Can you find yours?

This is a view of one Tutor/Mentor Leadership and Networking Conference held in Chicago between May 1994 and May 2015. The visualization was created by students at Indiana University as part of an information visualization class. The orange node is a conference. The green nodes are participants. Enlarge the map and see the org names.

The 1990s photo in the upper right shows teens & staff at the #tutor #mentor program I was leading. At the right is one of those teens at our 2010 year end dinner. We're still connected via Facebook. It was an intentional effort that made this program available for so many years.

In this post I shared another visualization created using Kumu.io and invited students/universities to build similar maps showing the information in the #Tutor #Mentor library. tutormentor.blogspot.com/2025/12/mapp... #datavis #dataviz #conceptmap

This interactive map (created using Kumu.io) can be found on the Landscape of Consciousness website. You'll find four maps like this that visualize theories of consciousness.

I hope my new followers will take a look at my #tutor #mentor blog articles. New one today at Http://tutormentor.blogspot.com

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.
