Congregations of different faiths are distributed throughout the Chicago region. What if there were study and planning groups in each congregation working to help volunteer-based, youth tutor/mentor programs grow in all high poverty areas of the region? Such groups could be leading efforts that help youth connect with adults and learning opportunities that lead more K-12 kids through school and into jobs and careers. This strategy applies to any city. Leaders are needed to bring it to life. This is one of a collection of visual essays created by Dan Bassill, founder and CEO of Tutor/Mentor Connection (1993) and Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC (2011). As you read them and view maps of Chicago, think of this as your own city, and think of this presentation as one you have created and shared. Then, go ahead. Create your own version and share it with your congregation!
