Then, as you have time, or as you are looking for specific information, you can
go to specific sections where you can find what you are looking for.
Note: Since 2011 the Tutor/Mentor Connection has been operated as a program
of Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC, with even fewer resources than were available
between 1994 and 2011. Some of the web sites may not be working properly, or
host older data. We’ve not hosted a conference since May 2015. The Program
Locator is no longer working.
Thus, as you look at these resources, consider them a template, for what you
might create in your own city, if you were building a comprehensive system of
supports reaching youth in all high poverty neighborhoods.

RESEARCH – T/MC has been collecting and sharing information knowing all we
can about tutoring/mentoring programs since 1994
Chicago Area Program Locator was launched in 2004. Since 2013 the site has not been updated,
due to lack of financial and technical support. Since March 2021 the site is not opening. Code is

STEP 2: BUILD PUBLIC AWARENESS:
The T/MC seeks to connect everyone in the Chicago
region who wants to seek kids in poverty move to careers.
Using the same advertising principles that corporations use to
create awareness and draw customers to stores, T/MC seeks to
• reach more people every day, and
• draw them to on-line learning sites,
• then to maps,
• then to tutor/mentor programs in specific zip codes.
Browse T/MC web sites and blogs to see strategies piloted in Chicago between
1994 and 2015, which could be duplicated, with greater impact, by groups with
broader based support from business, civic leaders and foundations.

Between 1994 and 1996 the Tutor/Mentor Connection (T/MC) developed a 12-month strategy similar to the
year-round advertising campaigns of Sears, Wards, McDonalds and other retail organizations, using
quarterly events to draw people together and create media attention. See stories generated
http://www.tutormentorexchange.net/news-pr
The events (T/MC) organizes were intended to creates media stories, that help programs recruit volunteers
in Aug/Sept. and help programs train those volunteers and convert them into leaders as each program
moves through the School year.
Note: since 2015 conferences have not been held in Chicago, although social media continues to focus on these goals at key times
each year. This calendar should be a template that other leaders can duplicate.
