Cabrini Connections is a grassroots non-profit organization founded to address the large number of children who live in educationally disadvantaged environments and thus fail to obtain the basic skills and experiences necessary to compete for employment in the global economy of the 21st century. The organization was founded on the theory that after comprehensive, volunteer-based tutoring, mentoring, and school to work programs make a significant difference, encouraging young people to finish high school and enter the work force.
Since its inception, Cabrini Connections has created opportunities for inner city children. By recruiting quality volunteers, the organization provides quality tutoring and mentoring to teens living in the Cabrini Green area of Chicago. Since January 1993, more than 500 youth have had anywhere from one to seven years of tutoring/mentoring.
While it takes a huge amount of energy to operate a single tutor/mentor program, we created the Tutor/Mentor Connection in 1993, at the same time as we were launching Cabrini Connections. The goal of the T/MC is to help volunteer based programs like Cabrini Connections operate in all poverty neighborhoods of Chicago. Search for "tutor mentor" on Google and you can find our web sites and resources that anyone can use to be part of this mission.

Tutor/Mentor Leadership and Networking Conference
Event Information
The conference is part of an on-going strategy aimed at building connections between the people leading tutor/mentor programs, the people who are volunteers, and the people who provide the money so that high quality tutor/mentor programs can reach more K-12 youth in high poverty neighborhoods of Chicago and other cities.
The goal of the Tutor/Mentor Leadership and Networking Conferences is to draw together leaders from volunteer-based tutoring and/or mentoring programs, Community Technology Centers, arts programs, as well as leaders from business, universities, hospitals, and philanthropy, who will network and begin to work together to help existing tutor/mentor programs get the volunteers, dollars, and on-going leadership they need to connect with kids in these areas, while helping new programs form where none exist.
