"gather and organize all that is known about successful non-school tutoring/mentoring programs and apply that knowledge to expand the availability and enhance the effectiveness of these services to children throughout the Chicago region"
That mission is accomplished by four actions that take place daily and happen at the same time.
These four actions are described in this PDF essay on Scribd.com. Almost all of the articles posted on this blog since 2005 relate to one of these four actions. Here are a few articles where I've embedded this graphic.

I spend time every day in a variety of on-line and face-to-face settings where I'm learning new information, which I often add to my web library. I spend time every day writing blog articles, or posting on Twitter, Facebook or Linked in. In the same forums I spend time trying to help people find and use information I've collected.
So that more people will provide time, talent and dollars to support youth serving organizations in high poverty neighborhoods of Chicago and other cities.
And so that the result of the work these programs, schools, families and others are doing results in more kids staying safe during non-school hours while moving through school and into adult lives free of poverty.
If you'd like to support this work, with your own time, talent, network and/or dollars, I'd love to have your help.
