This map shows the the legislative district of Illinois
State Senator James T. Meeks. It shows the level of poverty and
number of poorly performing schools in the area and
indicates sites of tutoring and/or mentoring programs listed
in this database. Search
the Zip Code Map to find contact information and web sites
for tutor/mentor programs in this 60628 zip code, or in different zip codes
of the Chicago region.
Visit the
Map Gallery and
Mapping for
Justice Blog each week to see more maps that illustrate
roles political leaders, faith leaders and business leaders
can take to support the growth of tutor/mentor programs in
different parts of the city. New maps are added each week. Share these with
friends, family and co-workers to help mobilize support for
tutor/mentor programs in Chicago.

 Leaders can use these maps, and the Find A
Program link at the right to learn which neighborhoods have
enough tutor/mentor programs, or where there are too few programs. Volunteers, donors and business partners
can use these maps to determine where to offer talent, leadership, dollars and technology
to help existing programs provide constantly improving
services, and to help create new programs where needed. Together we can help assure that No
Child in Chicago is Left Behind. Visit
the T/MC Map Gallery to see more maps like the one shown below.
Read
Role_of_Leaders.pdf and
Strategies_for_using_maps.pdf and you'll understand
how powerful these tools can be in mobilizing the resources
needed to have comprehensive, volunteer-based tutor/mentor
programs in every high poverty neighborhood of any city.
GOOGLE Map Interface.
Now, when parents,
donors and volunteers use the Find A
Program link at the right to find contact

TheChicago

section has links to
Chicago tutor/mentor program web sites. When
a program maintains a web site, the
information is much more comprehensive than
what T/MC provides in the Program Locator
database.
This
site contains information about the tutor/
mentor
programs operating in the Chicago region. If
you would like help in forming a T/MC for
your own city, email tutormentor2@earthlink.net
Use the
Tutor/Mentor LINKS Library to find other information
related to tutoring/mentoring and helping
youth living in inner-city poverty.
Work on this
directory is done primarily by volunteers. If you would like to
help, contact tutormentor2@earthlink.net
