Helping Inner-City Youth from Birth to Work: A Networking Strategy Pg 1 Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC Tutor/Mentor Connection, Merchandise Mart PO Box 3303, Chicago, Il 60654 tutormentor2@earthlink.net http://www.tutormentorexchange.net http://www.tutormentorconnection.org Creating a Network of Purpose:
“Monique left for Howard University last week, where she has a FULL RIDE SCHOLARSHIP.” Message from Joey Molenda who was Monique’s tutor/mentor for six years. “Maurice has his GED and now works in construction...” thanks to Mike Mazucca who has been part of his life for more than 10 years, and to Tom Li, another CC volunteer who helped set up a job interview for Maurice at a company where he now works. “Cabrini Connections played a major role in my life during my high school years.” Marquita Hall (l) 2004 college graduate; with sister, Alicia Hall, who attends Northeastern Illinois University. The goal of the Tutor/Mentor Connection (T/MC)* is to connect inner city teens with adults who will act as tutors, mentors, coaches, advocates and friends in structured programs that encourages many of these adults to stay involved in the lives of kids for many years. The long term goal is that our teens finish high school and that our volunteers help open doors to advanced learning, jobs and careers. In such programs, volunteers also must learn to take on roles of leaders, fund raisers, advocates, etc. so that programs constantly expand the resources available to them. Dan Bassill, founder of T/MC operated a volunteer- based tutor/mentor program in Chicago for more than 35 years. 520 teens and 700 volunteers have participated for 1 to 7 full years since 1993. On this page are some of our alumni. *In July 2011 the Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC was created to innovate new ways to support the T/MC in Chicago and help similar strategies grow in other cities. Pg. 2 “Isaiah graduated from Bradley University in 2001 and now works for Westwood College..” Isaiah was a keynote speaker at a 2008 Tutor/Mentor Conference in Chicago and in Nov. 2010 led a fund raising effort to help raise money to support Cabrini Connections. He’s one of more than 100 alumni connected to via Facebook. Property of Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC and Tutor/Mentor Connection, Email for permission to use: tutormentor2@earthlink.net
We created the Tutor/Mentor Connection (T/MC) in 1993 to help programs like Cabrini Connections grow in every poverty neighborhood of the city and suburbs of Chicago. Chicago Using the Internet, the T/MC is now connected to organizations throughout the world, and is helping tutor/mentor programs, and citywide networks grow in Chicago and other cities. Every major city in the country has areas of high poverty. The larger the city the bigger the bureaucracy and the more isolated high poverty neighborhoods become. Through the Internet we can connect people from many cities in a network focused on expanding the social capital for youth in these neighborhoods by helping volunteer- based tutor/mentor programs grow. While we operated a single tutor/mentor program in one neighborhood... Pg. 3 Cabrini Connections serves teens in the Cabrini-Green area of Chicago. This program was where T/MC idea originated in 1993. Tutor/Mentor Connection helps programs like Cabrini Connections grow in every poverty area of the city and suburbs Property of Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC and Tutor/Mentor Connection, Email for permission to use: tutormentor2@earthlink.net
The Tutor/Mentor Connection focuses daily on one big questions: What will it take to assure that all youth born in poverty are entering careers by age 25? What does it take to make mentor-rich non-school programs available to more youth, in more places? Pg 4 Property of Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC and Tutor/Mentor Connection, Email for permission to use: tutormentor2@earthlink.net Since 2011 the T/MC has been part of Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC. Same goals. Different tax structure.
We know others are asking the same question…. The T/MC seeks to connect people and groups who are already spending many hours doing research and innovating ways to help kids to careers, into one on- going tutor/mentor learning network. In such a network people and organizations can share ideas, learn from others, create collaborations, and can apply new ideas and resources at any time to their own efforts to help kids in their own community. Dan Bassill participation in on-line forums is part of the T/MC network-building strategy.

All kids grow on the same 25 year timeline: From birth to starting a career, takes about 25 years for most kids. There are well defined stages along the way. For kids living in concentrated, inner-city poverty, there are extra challenges to reaching careers. School-Time Programs 3-5 PM Non-School Programs Pre-K K - 5th 5th - 6th 6th - 8th High School Career Track After 5 PM and Weekend Programs Pg 6 Property of Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC and Tutor/Mentor Connection, Email for permission to use: tutormentor2@earthlink.net

CHICAGO We use maps and charts to create visual understanding Pg 7
These are just a few of the questions that need to be answered to to achieve this goal: How do we help good programs be in more of the places where they are needed? How do we help each program have effective, long- term leaders? How do we increase the number of volunteers from different work backgrounds who get involved, and stay involved for many years? How do we provide consistent, flexible, multi-year funding in all locations, not just a few? Pg 8 Property of Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC and Tutor/Mentor Connection, Email for permission to use: tutormentor2@earthlink.net
How do we get individuals, and teams of people from colleges, business, media, education, arts, etc. thinking about this every day? Pg 9 How do we connect those who are already deliberating and discussing these questions in ways share knowledge and good ideas and encourage others to be involved?

Tutor/Mentor Connection (T/MC) A Strategy That Can Be Duplicated in Any City Since 1993 we have been building a Chicago area network of programs and supporters and a nationwide network of knowledge centers. We call this a Tutor/Mentor Learning Network (TMLN). We host the information we share in a Tutor/Mentor Institute library. This strategy has never been well funded or consistently supported in Chicago. Since 2011 it’s been supported by the Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC. The following slides show the steps we’ve taken to create this network. As you review this, imagine how much greater impact you could have if you had full support of civic leaders, business and philanthropy in your city.

Database (see lists of Chicago Youth tutor/mentor orgs http://tinyurl.com/TMI- Volunteer-Opportunities Information Collection Prior to 1993, no organization was attempting to maintain a comprehensive database of non- school tutor/mentor programs. Web library also includes LINKS to more than 2000 other organizations working to help kids succeed in school and move to careers. See map of library at http://tinyurl.com/TMI-library The T/MC Chicago programs database now includes most tutor/mentor programs in the Chicago area, as well as lists of potential resource providers. Step 1: Build and Maintain knowledge base Pg 11 /TMI-libraryhttp://tinyurl.com Property of Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC and Tutor/Mentor Connection, Email for permission to use: tutormentor2@earthlink.net Step 1 of 4-Part Strategy
What types of organizations? Who needs to be involved? Birth Career Pre School Family Industry Church Elementary School After School Programs High School College or Vocational A child Middle School Arts, Sports, Recreation Travel, Internet For most children, their Birth to Age 25 support system looks like this. Neighbors, family, and a variety of community supports model education as a path to careers, while opening doors and providing learning experiences as youth grow up. This is an informal network and it works for most kids. Mentors and Tutors Pg 12 Property of Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC and Tutor/Mentor Connection, Email for permission to use: tutormentor2@earthlink.net
The Support System for Kids in Poverty is Different than for middle and upper income kids. Birth Career Family Industry Church After School Programs A child living in poverty Arts, Sports, Recreation Travel, Internet Youth living in neighborhoods of concentrated, segregated, inner city poverty have less of these positive learning influences . While the church is a factor, many church groups do not have a diversity of workplace volunteers, and many who do have diverse congregations, do not have strategies to mentor neighborhood children to careers. Pg 13 Property of Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC and Tutor/Mentor Connection, Email for permission to use: tutormentor2@earthlink.net
More Negative Role Models Birth Career Family Industry Church After School Programs A child living in poverty Arts, Sports, Recreation Travel, Internet Gangs Welfare Ex Offenders Ill legal jobs Along with fewer positive influences, there are far more negative influences in communities with high concentrations of people in poverty, living on welfare, and working in illegal jobs. For many kids the most common role model is a man with a fancy car, flashy jewelry, new clothes, a wad of money, and many girl friends. All of this was earned through illegal work, such as selling drugs. For many other kids the role model is an ex-offender. Pg 14 Property of Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC and Tutor/Mentor Connection, Email for permission to use: tutormentor2@earthlink.net
As a Result, Schools Struggle. The Prison system grows. Birth Career Pre School Family Industry Church Elementary School After School Programs High School College or Vocational A child living in poverty Middle School Arts, Sports, Recreation Travel, Internet Gangs Welfare Prison, Juvenile Homes Ex Offenders Ill legal jobs As a result youth go to school un prepared to learn and with few adult models showing the value of education for jobs and careers. Schools struggle. High School drop out rates exceed 35%. Many careers are learned while in prison or in the juvenile justice system. Few youth go to college and too few of these graduate.

Every youth requires a network of supports as he/she grows up. Youth in high poverty areas won’t have the same network unless efforts are made to create and sustain it for many years. These two graphics show the ideas on page 16 and 17 in a different way. Pg 18 Property of Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC and Tutor/Mentor Connection, Email for permission to use: tutormentor2@earthlink.net
Database Because the T/MC maintains a database with contact information for most tutor/mentor programs in Chicago… b) As these volunteers bond with kids, many will help build better programs, the same way that Cabrini Connections volunteers have helped build the T/MC from 1993-2011 a) The T/MC is able to lead advertising and public education efforts that recruit volunteers and donors for more than 100 other programs throughout the Chicago region. Volunteer Mobilization Step 2: Volunteer Mobilization: Advertising c) This increases the number of adults, businesses and churches that are involved.

A successful collaboration or partnership is built on trust and mutual self-interest. From 1994-2015 the T/MC and Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC led an annual sequence of capacity-building actions that drew more than 300 programs together for regular knowledge sharing, resource building. These actions are essential for building trust and relationships. No other organization brings so many of the same programs together as often from year to year. Without the regular invitations from the T/MC, and the constant information sharing, most organizations would remain isolated from each other. Database Volunteer Mobilization Building a network of tutor/mentor leaders Step. 3 Build network of leaders. Pg 20 Property of Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC and Tutor/Mentor Connection, Email for permission to use: tutormentor2@earthlink.net
Building Better Understanding of Needs, Opportunities By bringing programs together on a regular basis, and by supporting this process with surveys and an Internet library of tutor/mentor information, T/MC seeks to create a better understanding of what works, who/how many are being served, where programs are needed, and what it takes to help good programs be in every place where they are needed. Database Volunteer Mobilization Building a network of tutor/mentor leaders Building Better Understanding of Needs, Opportunities Step 4: Information sharing Pg 21 The T/MC has never had funds to do all of the research that needs to be done, and seeks partnership with universities to do this. Property of Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC and Tutor/Mentor Connection, Email for permission to use: tutormentor2@earthlink.net
OUR GOAL: SUPPORT THE GROWTH OF TOTAL QUALITY MENTORING PROGRAMS THAT HELP INNER CITY YOUTH REACH CAREERS To SUCCEED We must recruit business leaders who will use their resources in PULLING Youth to Careers To SUCCEED We must help tutor/mentor program leaders, volunteers, schools and parents be more effective in PUSHING Youth to Careers School-Time Programs 3-5 PM Non-School Programs Pre-K K - 5th 5th - 6th 6th - 8th High School Career Track After 5 PM and Weekend Programs Pg 22 The visualizations on this and the next three pages are additional ways to illustrate a long-term commitment needed to support youth living in high poverty areas. Property of Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC and Tutor/Mentor Connection, Email for permission to use: tutormentor2@earthlink.net
SHARING RESPONSIBILITY To finish school and enter a career… …youth who participate in great K-8 programs still need support to finish high school, college and to enter careers. EXAMPLE A program serving 5th and 6th grade kids is able to do more if programs serving the SAME kids in K-5 have laid a reading/math learning/motivation foundation. School-Time Programs 3-5 PM Non-School Programs Pre-K K - 5th 5th - 6th 6th - 8th High School Career Track After 5 PM and Weekend Programs Programs serving youth in one age level, or one time frame, can do better work if the child comes to them better prepared. These are feeder programs. If kids have access to good K-5 programs they will perform better in 5th and 6th grade and high school programs. Pg 23 Property of Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC and Tutor/Mentor Connection, Email for permission to use: tutormentor2@earthlink.net
THE GOAL IS NOT TO FINISH 6TH GRADE. IT’S TO REACH A CAREER. Agencies that help each other do more to help kids stay in school and reach careers. Instead of competing for resources, the T/MC seeks to help programs work together to increase the availability of resources for all tutor/mentor programs. School-Time Programs 3-5 PM Non-School Programs Pre-K K - 5th 5th - 6th 6th - 8th High School Career Track After 5 PM and Weekend Programs Every program serving youth on this time line needs volunteers, dollars, technology, etc. Pg 24 Property of Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC and Tutor/Mentor Connection, Email for permission to use: tutormentor2@earthlink.net
Networking Strategy As a small non profit, T/MC* has never had the advertising budgets of large corporations. Thus, it relies on an on-going networking strategy to draw people together, and to build awareness of tutoring/mentoring. * The Tutor/Mentor Institute LLC was created in 2011 in an effort to expand the ways money and partnerships are formed to support this strategy.

Aug/Sept Chicagoland Volunteer Recruitment Campaign November Conferences Jan. National Mentoring Month; Feb. Leadership Development May Conferences Beginning in 1994 the T/MC developed a year-round event calendar intended to help programs recruit volunteers in Aug/Sept. and help programs train those volunteers and convert them into leaders as each program moves through the School year. As each program ends the year it has more people helping it build capacity and quality for the following year. By repeating this call to involvement each year from 1994-2011, we created greater public awareness of tutoring/mentoring, and greater traffic to web sites of the Tutor/Mentor Learning Network. Since 2015 these events have not been hosted by T/MC in Chicago, but the strategies continue to be supported on social media. This is an on-going, year-to-year growth process Pg 27 Property of Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC and Tutor/Mentor Connection, Email for permission to use: tutormentor2@earthlink.net

When business, faith and political leaders use their visibility, advertising and influence to encourage people to volunteer, or donate, to a tutor/mentor program, we increase the number of volunteers and donors at every tutor/mentor program in the Chicago area…or in any other city. We also lower the costs for each organization to acquire these resources, and help organizations keep leaders and key staff longer.

If Step 1 to 5 are happening in every poverty neighborhood, youth and families will have access to more of the help they need, better programs, and more consistent, longer-term services.
