National Mentoring Month Ends - Questions Remain

It's almost the month of January, which means the end of National Mentoring Month. If you haven't checked out our Cabrini Connections kids thanking their tutor/mentors as part of National Mentoring month, please do:



Anyway, as part of National Mentoring Month, I have been researching mentoring partnerships in other states. Many states have coalitions similar to the Tutor/Mentor Connection that are recognized by Mentoring.org. What would it take to create a similar partnership in Illinois? How could we turn the Tutor/Mentor Connection into a recognized mentoring partnership? I encourage you to take a look at other states' mentoring partnerships and see how they have done it. (I have to give a shout-out to my home state of Oregon who has an especially informative and comprehensive website!)
