Helping kids requires more than volunteer tutors and mentors. It means some people are providing dollars. Some provide training and technology. Some help communicate information to kids, volunteers, parents and donors.  Can you be part of this team?

Cabrini Madness, running till April 1, 2010, is one of many events we host throughout the year. These build public awareness for tutoring/mentoring, bring program leaders together to share ideas, and raise money to pay to keep the lights on.  We'll post some of these on this web site and at Cabrini Connections, but we'll also use our fund raising blog to keep you updated.

I hope you'll join  us for these events and use the information on this site to help all kids born in poverty be starting jobs and careers by age 25, with the help of volunteers in structured tutor/mentor programs.

View this animated (Flash) STRATEGY MAP to better understand the goals of the Tutor/Mentor Connection and the purpose of the pdf essays (see library) on this web site. One of the essays is named, Defining Terms PDF. It illustrates how the words tutoring and mentoring mean different things to different people. Thus, while we seem to be saying the same things we have different understanding, and thus different commitments to any long-term set of actions.
