Thank you for attending the May 28 and 29 Tutor/Mentor Conference in Chicago
By tutormentor2 @ 10:55 AM :: 393 Views :: Advocacy, Events, Funding and Philanthropy, Mentoring, Tutoring
While most of us are searching for resources to help our programs operate over the summer and in the 2009-10 school year, the May Tutor/Mentor Leadership and Networking Conference, held on May 28 and 29, at the Northwestern University School of Law, was an opportunity to share ideas, network with peers, and work together to overcome the challenges each program faces on a continued basis.

More than 120 people attended, coming from Arizona, Virginia, Mississippi, Wisconsin, Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, and of course Chicago and other parts of Illinois.  We thank everyone who volunteered time as speakers and panel members, and who just made time to attend.

What happens between conferences is really what matters.

Thanks to everyone who attended Tutor/Mentor Conference, Friday, Nov. 21 at Chicago Field Museum
By tutormentor2 @ 11:58 AM :: 977 Views :: Events, Mentoring, T/MC, Tutoring, Volunteering
On Friday, Nov. 21, 2008  the 30th Tutor/Mentor Leadership and Networking Conference since May 1994 was held at the Chicago Field Museum.  Comments from one participant are posted on the T/MC Ning page.

This conference intends to showcase the work being done by various tutoring and/or mentoring programs, share effective practices via networking and workshops, and draw greater public attention to tutor/mentor programs throughout the region.  One of our goals is to recruit athletes and celebrities who will draw attention to tutor/mentor programs in multiple locations. This blog post illustrates that concept. During the conference one panel included former NFL Quarterbacks Kurt Kittner and Zak Kustok.  If you attended the conference, post your feedback on our Ning page or in the forum on this site.

TutorMatch demonstrates role leaders in business can take
By tutormentor2 @ 3:05 PM :: 864 Views :: Advocacy, Funding and Philanthropy, Mentoring, Technology, Tutoring
I encourage you to read the article posted on the Homework Help Today blog written by Diane Palumbo, based in New Jersey.  This shows how leaders in different industry can use their blogs and advertising to draw resources to volunteer-based tutor/mentor programs.  I hope that more people will duplicate this, especially as we're in a difficult economic time and volunteer-based programs are searching for donations to support the work they do.
