Intern and Volunteer Opportunities

Role of Volunteers and Interns

There are many ways that volunteers and interns can help with the work we are doing. The list at this link was posted by Loyola University for all of their students to browse and it has resulted in more than 10 interns contacting us in late 2009 and early 2010.

In each category below there are volunteer, intern and partner opportunities

E-Learning!!

Our mission statement says we'll "collect everything known about volunteer-based tutoring/ mentoring" and share that in an effort to help more and better tutor/mentor programs grow in more places.

Student from any High School or College

IN THE WORLD could join the project!

Educating our leaders, volunteers and donors!!

This is one of our primary challenges. While our Founder and CEO understands what the T/MC is trying to accomplish, this is not as clear to everyone else within the organization.

Thus, our education is intended to help our core supporters understand what the T/MC is doing, and who is helping us, and why this is important, so they can integrate this understanding into their own actions and leadership.

Talent needed!!

If you are a graduate student who has skills in educational technology and instructional design — creating web-based training, writing instructional manuals, creating an instructional website or online course — and are looking to volunteer for an area organization) we would welcome your involvement and help in developing a web based curriculum for the T/MC.

University Partnership

Creating University Partnerships has been a long-term goal. Embedding the Tutor/Mentor Institute into one or more universities can unleash the talent and resources of the university and its alumni.

Our goal is to recruit a team of students, faculty and/or alumni who will act as a “Tutor/Mentor University Connection” connecting the resources of the university to each other, to the Tutor/Mentor Connection, and to tutor/mentor programs operating throughout the Chicago region and the rest of the country.

Steps to achieve this goal:

1) recruit faculty volunteer from undergrad,grad, and adult ed.

This team has to understand and be committed to the long-

term potential of being a partner to the Tutor/Mentor

Connection by understanding the benefits to university, to

teaching, to publishing, to students, to fund raising, etc.

2) recruit student rep from each area to be 2010-2011 team.

3) develop long-term goals, business plan, as "credit" project

to be delivered by Dec 31. Work closely with T/MC to do this.

Many are already providing

this type of leadership.

If you are one, please contact the T/MC so we can unite with you, or you can add your support to capacity building actions in the Chicago region.

Show your volunteer involvement and workforce development strategy on your company web site, and add a link on the http://www.tutormentorconnection.org web site.

Email tutormentor2@earthlink.net to connect your strategy to the T/MC.

Leaders are needed from every sector:

business, professions, civic, education, religion and social sectors.

What can a business leader do?

Step1. Leadership Commitment

Make a top-level commitment to support youth development, and volunteer-based tutoring, mentoring, as part of a diversity and workforce development strategy

Step2. Appoint a “get it done” leader

Appoint senior manager as the CEO’s personal representative.

Step3. Do your homework.

Establish a forum (research and planning team) to review and prioritize involvement opportunities.

Step4. Advertise. Educate. Communicate.

Begin a communications and advocacy program.

Step5. Recognition leads to Expansion.

Provide recognition for those who become involved, such as breakfast with the CEO.

Step6. Encourage networking.

Provide a forum for volunteers to network and share their experiences within the company and with others in the city.

Step7. Year-to-year growth & process improvement.

No successful enterprise was built in a day, week or even a few years. Why should a successful mentoring-to-career program be any different?

We need many more people helping facilitate understanding and building collaboration.

T/MC is similar with Google.

1. Looks for information, or content, and people relevant to the cause of

tutoring and mentoring.

2. Organizes, analyzes, and archives that information for future reference.

3. Utilizes those references for targeted advertising campaigns, social

networking, grant-writing, and the like

The "In-Forming" Process works something like this:

1. Uninformed people interact with information and become informed.

2. Informed people interact with uninformed people, producing more informed

people.

3. Informed people interact with each other.

4. To the point where new information is being passed along to all parties

involved, starting the process over again.

What we need?

Poverty is

complex

problem

Facilitators needed to help others use this information.

• Leaders from every sector
• Social media/blogs, etc.
• Build consulting/speaking roles
• University partnership
• Develop webnars, conferences
• Manpower to help build understanding
• Public Awareness is 'Education of consumer' strategy
