Obama provided the inspiration. You provide the time, talent and dollars!

If you were inspired by the election of President Obama, and are looking for ways to make a difference, take time to inventory all of your assets. What are all of the ways you can get involved? Not everyone can be a one-on-one tutor/mentor. Yet, every volunteer-based tutor/mentor program needs a variety of talents to assure its success. And every program needs an on-going flow of flexible operating dollars.

As you are thinking about how to help, take time to understand the issues and where you can get involved. Form a discussion group at your place of worship, your school, your company, or civic/social group. Draw from information on the Tutor/Mentor Connectin web site and use it in weekly, monthly and ongoing reflection, discussion, and action-planning.

Then do something every day, with your time, your talent, and your dollars, to help one or more tutor/mentor programs connect with kids, and stay connected in ways that lead kids to careers. With your help, we can even create a future president.
