June 14, 2012 "Advancing Equality in Mentoring and Tutoring Opportunities" Conference!
8:30am-1pm Symposium - Plan to Attend
Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC, with
partnership from Becoming We the People and The Social Justice Council
at the First Unitarian Church in Hyde Park, will host a one day
Tutor/Mentor Leadership and Networking Conference symposium focusing on
"Advancing Equality in Mentoring and Tutoring Opportunities"
Want to be on panel? See Agenda.
Since May 1994, the Tutor/Mentor
Connection (T/MC)
has hosted the biannual Tutor/Mentor Leadership and Networking Conference as
part of an ongoing effort to improve the quality and availability of
volunteer-based tutor/mentor programs in areas of Chicago with high concentrations of
poverty. We invite representatives from other cities to participate because
they face the same challenges we do in Chicago. We invite you to connect on-line
because most people are not able to attend this conference in Chicago
and because we need to be focusing on this issue every day, not just
once or twice each year.

The conference serves three purposes:
- It connects leaders and supporters of volunteer-based tutoring, mentoring and education-to-career programs with each other (See Network Analysis map of May 2010 conference. See similar maps of 2008-2009 conferences)
- It builds visibility so that more volunteers and donors will choose to support tutor/mentor programs in the Chicago region. See Nov. 2010 Conf. Recap video. http://vimeo.com/17095756
- It helps T/MC maintain its Chicago Area Programs List of area tutor/mentor programs
Here's what program leaders have to say about the conference:
"What a great day Friday was at the Tutor/Mentor Conference in Chicago! This is either my 3rd or 4th one and I learn something new every time that enhances my programming and benefits my young people!" Join discussion on Linked In.
