Over the past 35 years many videos were created showing the work done at tutor/mentor programs I led in Chicago and sharing the ideas and strategies of the Tutor/Mentor Connection, which I launched in 1993.
While you can find these on YouTube I've created an archive of these on my main website.
There is also one page with projects done by Interns.
I had been hosting these on a different site, which I'm no longer able to edit. Thus, by building new pages on my main site I can add new videos as more are created.
Most of the videos that I'm pointing to focus on the Tutor/Mentor Connection part of the two-part Cabrini Connections - Tutor/Mentor Connection strategy that I led from 1993 to 2011. In this panel I point to a Vimeo site with 49 videos focusing on Cabrini Connections. There's also a YouTube channel for Cabrini Connections/TMC.
While I've piloted my strategies in Chicago I feel that any major city in the world, where there are pockets of concentrated poverty, could apply the ideas in these videos to their own community.
That means students from middle school, high school and/or colleges could be creating their own versions of these presentations, using maps of their own city and pointing to youth programs that already operate in those places. They could also use any of the blog articles I've posted since 2005 as content for their own blogs and videos.
By doing so students build creative communications skills and learn roles leaders need to take over, and over, for many years in order to help kids born in poverty move from birth-to-work, or to solve any of the other complex problems facing our world.
If you create new versions, just point to where you got your ideas, and send me a link so I can help you draw attention to them.
Thank you to those who make small contributions to help fund my work and keep these sites alive on the Internet. If you'd like to help, visit this page.
