Tutor/Mentor Programs in Chicagoland, By Type

A continuation of this week's theme, today I want to show maps that show locations of tutor/mentor programs, alongside areas of greatest need in the fight against poverty.


I haven't done enough of this, but I would love to direct you to the Tutor/Mentor Connection's extensive library of documents ... docs that offer analysis and strategy pertaining to tutoring/mentoring/collaborating, and ultimately addressing poverty and its effects, through tutoring and mentoring. Please take a look at the Tutor/Mentor Institute to learn more about why your participation through volunteering and donation is so important to the entire community.


Here is a map that shows the locations of programs that work in a purely tutoring capacity.

And here are programs that use a mixed tutoring AND mentoring strategy, similar to the one espoused by Cabrini Connections.

Use the zip codes on the maps to find more information on a region of the city, either by using the Tutor/Mentor Connection's interactive zip code map, or their Program Locator.
