Vision:  because of the work we do youth living in poverty today will be starting jobs and entering careers out of poverty by age 25

On TED.com rock music star Bono sets a goal of one million advocates and one billion page views, focusing on poverty in Africa. Our goal is to mobilize the same type of support, but to focus it on high poverty areas of inner city neighborhoods, using maps, and a Program Locator Database, to help volunteers, donors, parents and students connect with the programs which already operate in these areas, or to help build new programs in undeserved areas.

Create an annual event/marketing plan that repeats from year-to-year.
Starting a volunteer volunteer-based tutor/mentor program is difficult, but is really the easiest part of the lessons we're sharing in the Tutor/Mentor Institute.  Sustaining a program and growing it into a great program, having a life changing impact on youth, as well as volunteers, is a long-term process.  Thus, leaders need to have a business plan for finding resources to fuel constant innovation and process improvement.
