Check out my articles on Substack.com

Since last August I've been using Substack.com to provide in-depth descriptions of some of my concept maps and visual essays.

This is my most recent. The headline is "What would convince you to support a tutor/mentor program?"

The headline of this article was "Shared Goal". It show actions that would lead to more youth moving safely through school and  into adult lives.

This article is titled "Start planning for fall 2026 tutor/mentor programs." It focuses on annual planning. While May-June is the end of one school year and tutor/mentor programs are celebrating, the new school year starts soon and programs need to be recruiting volunteers to help with planning and operations right now. 

This article asks "Can YOU champion this idea?"  It shows a role many leaders need to take to support birth-to-work programs that reach K-12 youth in areas of concentrated poverty. 

This article is titled "Mentor Kids to Careers - 4 Part Strategy"

Unless many people read and share these too few will ever see the ideas.  That's been the challenge since I formed the Tutor/Mentor Connection in 1993.  It's one reason I encourage others to create their own versions of these, and incorporate them into their own leadership and advocacy.

I've depended on a small group of donors to help me pay the bills since 2011.  Many are former Acacia Fraternity brothers from Illinois Wesleyan who I went to school with in the mid 1960s. We're all getting older and each year one or more moves from this life to the afterlife.  

I will join them in the near future. Nothing immediate, but that's not up to me.  Until then, I hope new supporters will visit this page, and offer help for me to keep doing this work.  Thank you.
