Tutor Mentor

Speaking of Tutors…Tutor Mentor (I think I’ve linked to them before): “The map below shows where poverty is concentrated in Chicago and where poorly performing schools are located. These are places where non school tutoring and/or mentoring programs are connecting kids with extra adult help. ”
Obviously, a great use of tutoring and technology to provide a valuable service to a community. Embedded in many of these emerging tools is not only the capacity for connecting with others…but also the capacity for making our corner of the world a bit better. Consider, for example, the stated intent of Tutor Mentor: “to build a community of adults and organizations that are dedicated to reaching youth living in poverty and to building a sophisticated, long-term support system that leads them to careers.” Excellent.
