This from Dan Bassill, founder and director of the Tutor/Mentor Connection:
…T/MC has launched a new Program Locator that we feel will make it much easier for a parent, social service worker, volunteer or donor to find a specific tutor/mentor program in the Chicago area. It enables visitors to search for tutoring and/or mentoring programs based on where they are located (zip code), what type of tutoring/mentoring they offer, what age group they serve, and what time of day the service is offered.
The Program Locator and other services offered by the Tutor/Mentor Connection, are developed primarily with the help of volunteers. If your company or foundation would like to sponsor this service, or help the T/MC expand it, mailto:tutormentor2@earthlink.net.
An important new open marketplace! The T/MC also points out that “no child left behind” should really be “all children in jobs/careers by age 25.” An important clarification of purpose.
