In reviewing posts about Starting a new T/MC or About T/MI I saw that I've not included the presentation below, describing a Tutor/Mentor Learning Network.
Tutor/Mentor Institute - Le... by Daniel F. Bassill
On page 12 of this presentation I show the graphic at the right.
I've been building a library of "everything we can know" since the early 1990s, which is the "information people can use" that I referred to above.
In this graphic I refer to "hubs" which are websites hosted by other people that are comprehensive resources focused on specific topics. I don't need to host "everything" about a topic on my website if I can point to someone else who does. Thus, today I added a link in the Prevention Resources section of my library to an organization called Start Your Recovery, which is a substance abuse resource.
Many of the websites that I point to are "hubs" like this.
On page 13 I show the graphic at the left. If "hubs" link to each other more information is available through the network of libraries.
Unfortunately, many of the people who I've added to my library, and/or who have asked to be added, do not have a section of resources where they point to my site, nor do they follow me on social media.
That's true for the Start Your Recovery site, too. However, they do include an extensive directory, pointing to resources for substance abuse knowledge and recovery.
On page 16 I show the graphic at the right. If everyone in my library, including "hubs" like Start Your Recovery, were pointing to myself and each other in our websites and our social media and newsletters, we could increase attention and funding for each of us.

On page 23 of this presentation I show that my goal is that the Tutor/Mentor Connection (T/MC) strategy be embedded in one, or many, universities, where student/faculty and alumni manpower can do the work much better than my small organization has the capacity to do.
The presentation below shows this "Invitation to Universities".
Take time to review these. Set up a learning group in your university network, your business or your community to read these presentations and consider how you'd adopt the ideas, and how a major donor might provide the seed money.

You can find me on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and Mastodon (see links here). I want to help people adopt these ideas and carry them forward, using the library and history I've established over the past 30 years as a building block.
As I share this information and seek leaders who will adopt and support this strategy in more places, I still rely on a small group of donors to help me pay the bills to continue operating the Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC.
