Yet, the information is still a valuable resource if people would spend time looking at it.
So today I posted three screenshots on Twitter, which I'm showing below. Hopefully a few readers will be motivated to take a journey into my site and to share these Tweets with others.
Step 1 of the four-part strategy that I launched in 1993 focuses on collecting and sharing information. This includes my list of Chicago tutor/mentor programs.
Making information available that others can use to build & sustain volunteer-based #tutor #mentor & learning programs has been my priority since 1993. View this section of my web site. https://t.co/Up8qHYEtpb pic.twitter.com/Q1fLFXgfZE— Daniel Bassill (@tutormentorteam) June 10, 2019
A significant part of the Tutor/Mentor Connection/Institute, LLC strategy is the focus on using maps to understand where programs are most needed, where existing programs are located, and what assets are in different areas who should be supporting the movement of youth through school.
Part of the information I collect and share are GIS #maps that show where youth #tutor #mentor programs are most needed, based on indicators like poverty, poorly performing schools, violence, etc. This section focuses on distribution of programs. https://t.co/pPJZnQFvpn pic.twitter.com/oxWlKbjenp— Daniel Bassill (@tutormentorteam) June 10, 2019
This section of the web site, and the next, focus on what leaders in business, religion, hospitals, universities, professions, sports, media, etc. can do to help existing programs grow and new ones form, and to keep these programs in place and constantly improving for many years. Remember, it takes 12 years for most kids to go from first grade through high school. Those living in high poverty need many extra supports for all of these years.
You can visit the http://www.tutormentorexchange.net web site and browse through the various sections. And you can use a snipping tool to take a picture of different sections, then share it on Twitter or Facebook or Instagram, just as I did. The more this is done the greater will be the use of this data and the benefit to kids.The information I collect & share is intended to influence what leaders in business, religion, hospitals, universities, media, etc. do, not just what youth, volunteers and NPOs do. https://t.co/vYPx5rwABd pic.twitter.com/UPgE6YBcHf— Daniel Bassill (@tutormentorteam) June 10, 2019
When you open the site you'll find information along the top and on the left side and right side. I'm showing the left side of the home page, where I've circled a link asking for help funding the work I do.
Help me keep this going. Help me find others who will share ownership and do the work of re-building the Tutor/Mentor Connection for the next decade of work.
Thank you.
