Our Mission: The mission of the Tutor/Mentor Connection (1993-present) and Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC (T/MI) (2011-present) is to gather and organize all that is known about successful volunteer-based, non-school tutoring/mentoring programs and apply that knowledge to expand the availability and enhance the effectiveness of these services to children throughout the Chicago region.

This is the question we should all be asking.

All of the resources on this website are intended to help people support existing volunteer-based tutor, mentor and learning programs while helping new programs grow where more are needed. Visit the "Get Started" page to begin your journey.

This strategy needs to be embedded in universities in every major city.  Read Dan Bassill's 30-Year History of Reaching out to Universities.   click here

Help find donors who will move the informatin-based strategy piloted by the Tutor/Mentor Connection since 1993 and the Tutor/Mentor Institute, LLC since 2011 into one or more universities in your area.

Expenses are higher than donations so far in 2026.  Please help keep this website freely available to you and others.
