History

History, beginning November 1992. Cabrini Connections was created in aftermath of the Dantrell Davis killing in Chicago in October 1992.

Our Vision

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.

 

Mission

Our Mission: Engage workplace adults in structured activities that make a life-changing difference for youth living in economically and educationally disadvantaged neighborhoods.

Many of our ideas are expressed in this Library of pdf essays, and in the animated presentations on this page. These are ideas that guide Cabrini Connections and are intended to help us get the consistent flow of resources needed to help the teens we work with. They are also ideas that can be used to help any other tutor/mentor program in the country do more to help the youth they work with.
