<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).

> Our goal is to recruit mentors from each of these spokes to become part =
of
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.

> It is the on-going exposure to various career opportunities which
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.

a
year.
