<p>> At the www.tutormentorconnection.org we show a chart that looks like a
wheel. The "hub" represents a child.  It shows a timeline that starts on the
left with preschool and ends on the right with "career".  Above the timeline
is a circle that represents the 9-3pm time each day a child spends in
school.  Below the time line are two circles, representing the 3-5pm hours
and after 5pm hours.

aspire to (retailing, finance, education, health care,
arts/culture/religion, etc).

an on-going process that exposes youth to more career aspirations than a
poverty neighborhood normally offers, and who become people who are
advocates, coaches, tutors, (and funders) of programs and schools where the
mentors and youth connect.

influence youth.  The more choices, the more likely one will match a child's
natural talent and expectations. In poverty areas there are too few positive
choces and too many negative career paths.
