Does Your Tutor/Mentor Program Include Some of These Activities?
At a site based program youth can be involved in one-on-one mentoring
provided by volunteers who work as engineers, artists, writers, computer
scientists,
advertisers, musicians, bankers, journalists, etc. and who attended a wide
range of different colleges, junior colleges, and/or trade schools.
In such programs these, and other volunteers can organize learning
activities
where they share what they do on a job, such as build web sites, or create
videos,
with youth as part of on-going activities.
This
map of the Chicago region is from the
Tutor/Mentor Program
Locator. Each green star is a non-school tutor/mentor program.
Our goal is that more programs become available in neighborhoods without
programs and, that at a growing number of programs different types of extra
learning activities begin to be included, based on what ideas each program
can learn from other programs.
View
this PDF and see how non-school youth programs could become distribution
points, like retail stores, for a wide range of different forms of
learning.
In future Tutor/Mentor Leadership and Networking Conferences we invite
programs
to showcase extra learning activities with the goal that other programs
will want
to duplicate them in their own programs.
