Support youth tutor/mentor programs

The year-end holidays are a major fund-raising period for all nonprofit organizations, including those who work with youth.  I encourage you to use my lists to find Chicago tutor, mentor and learning programs and similar programs in other cities.

This shows part of the home page of the http://www.tutormentorexchange.net website.  The top link is to my list of Chicago area volunteer-based tutor, mentor and learning program.  Open the link then search for programs based on what part of the city they operate in. Some have multiple locations so that is a separate list.

The second list shows additional youth-serving programs in the Chicago region, based on arts, STEM, service learning, etc.  It also has lists for programs and networks beyond Chicago.

Further down you can see lists for Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Twitter.  Use these to find Chicago area programs on these social media platforms.  Not all programs post on social media, and only a few post on multiple platforms.

However, if you follow these programs you can get more reminders of who they are and what they do than by just visiting their websites.

#Giving Tuesday is an international day of fund raising. This year it will be on December 3rd.  Watch for posts from many youth serving programs and support as many as you can.  For the past few years I've been making small donations to 6-8 programs.  I wish I could do more.

I sent my November 2024 eMail newsletter today. You can read it on the T/MI website at this link.

I included the images below announcing my annual December 19th birthday campaign and my year-end general fund raising campaign.  


I've never charged any of the youth programs in my library for listing them and boosting their posts to try to help them attract needed volunteers and donors.  I've depended on people who value the intermediary role of the Tutor/Mentor Connection (1993 - present) and Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC (2011-present) to provide the dollars needed.

I hope you'll help me, and youth serving programs in your area.

Thank you.

Find me on Instagram, BlueSky, LinkedIn and Facebook.  I still have an account on Twitter, but I'm using it less. This page has links to my social media pages.
