Mission
Our Mission: Engage workplace adults in structured activities that make a
life-changing difference for youth living in economically and educationally
disadvantaged neighborhoods.
Our
Vision: Every child who joins a tutor/mentor program in 7th or 8th grade is
starting a job and career of his or her choice by age 25.
Our program includes:
- Tutoring – Students have access to a comfortable environment for studying, learning, getting homework help. Students have access to computers and the Internet.
- Mentoring - By working with the same volunteer week after week, students and volunteers form a relationship beyond a tutor and her tutee.
- Enrichment Activities – Students have the opportunity to join clubs focused on art, technology, video, writing and leadership.
- How do we measure our impact? Metrics used to evaluate Cabrini Connections.
In addition to our Cabrini Connections program, we also run a second program. The Tutor/Mentor Connection (T/MC) is dedicated to the growth of comprehensive, volunteer-based tutor/mentor programs in all poverty neighborhoods of Chicago. The T/MC is a result of the lessons learned from operating a single tutor/mentor program for more than 30 years. These lessons are applied in a variety of ways to help programs like Cabrini Connections operate in hundreds of neighborhoods.
