Teens, volunteers and interns have been creating videos to tell the tutor/mentor story, and Tutor/Mentor Connection strategies, since the early 1990s. These can be found on YouTube and Vimeo, but not in a single location. Click
here to see videos created in the past three years, then click on my subscriptions to find three other channels on YouTube with videos created in past years when I was leading Cabrini Connections. You'll even find a video created
by Sara Caldwell in 1990, when we were with the Montgomery Ward/Cabrini-Green Tutoring Program.
Today I was looking for some past videos and found
this one, where I talk of some of the reasons I've been involved with tutor/mentor programs since 1973. It's one of many you can find
here on Vimeo.
To see even more videos, from past conferences and/or interviews I've done, click

The stories from the past tell the same message as the one I'm telling now. Volunteer-based tutor/mentor programs, if they are well organized, involve a wide range of volunteers from different backgrounds, and are consistently funded, can have a long-term impact on youth and volunteers, as well as leaders such as myself.
