Willie was recently informed that he wasaccepted at Morgan State
in Baltimore. He isalso receiving a very generous scholarship. Weowe an awful lot to your program and to your stafffor providing such a great place to foster arelationship and afforded us so many greatopportunities. I honestly believe none of this wouldhave been possible without you providing such agreat environment for us to meet each week.
The goal of the Tutor/Mentor Connection
is to connect inner city teenswith adults who will act as tutors, mentors, coaches, advocates andfriends in structured programs that encourages many of these adults tostay involved in the lives of kids for many years.The long term goal is that our teens finish high school and thatourvolunteers help open doors to advanced learning, jobs and careers. Insuch programs, volunteers also must learn to take on roles of leaders,fund raisers, advocates, etc. so that programs constantly expandtheresources available to them.
The T/MC has operated a Cabrini Connections tutor/mentor programin Chicago for more than 15 years. 520 teens and 700 volunteershave participated for 1 to 7 full years since 1993.On this page are some of our alumni.Visitwww.cabriniconnections.netto learn more.

This demonstrates a growing ability to find needed resources and partners beyond the Chicago region for actions that support programs in Chicago
