Between 1995 and 2003 the Tutor/Mentor Connection (and Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC since 2011) organized an annual August/September volunteer recruitment campaign in Chicago to help all tutor/mentor programs attract volunteers. Recruitment fairs were organized in different parts of the city and suburbs on one weekend in early September. Since 2003, the campaign has been year-round, pointing potential volunteers, and donors, to the lists of youth serving organization websites, organized by sections of the city

As you become involved with any of these programs expand your knowledge and impact by using the ideas and resources shared on the Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC web sites. Our aim is to help constantly improving k-12 tutor/mentor programs reach more youth, and help more move through school and into jobs and careers.

On this web site and others, the Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC shares many ideas that can be used by business, political, faith and philanthropic leaders on this web site, not just ideas that leaders and volunteers in tutor/mentor programs can use. We seek volunteers and partners to help communicate these ideas to larger numbers of people and to act as facilitators and consultants to help thousands of groups use this information to help high quality tutor/mentor programs grow in more places where they are needed.

Volunteer to Help Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC
Since 2011 the Tutor/Mentor Connection has been operating under the umbrella of the Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC and has had limited resources to continue its calendar of events and maintain it's on-line support system. Dan Bassill, the founder of the T/MC and T/MI is now 78 and while looking for volunteers (and financial supporters)  to help collect and maintain the technology and program information, he's also looking for leaders in universities in Chicago and other cities who might adopt the strategies shown on this website, and Dan's archives, and continue to lead this strategy in future years using students, faculty and alumni manpower.  All it needs is a major donor to put up the money to fund such a program.
