I have just completed a project proposal for a competition, Members Project '08, sponsored by American Express which I've named "The Phoenix Project." Please check it out and share with your readers. And vote, if you can! I may be contacting you to find out more about the Tutuor/Mentoring Connection, since it's exactly the kind of thing I'm proposing.

I hope our maps challenge them to create their own maps, showing places in neighborhoods around their campuses which are growing resources helping kids to careers, because of the way the university helps them get leaders, volunteers, ideas, training, technology..... and operating dollars.<BR/><BR/>I wonder how many locations within 5 miles of the University of Chicago might show that they receive that type of support from the university. I wonder how many programs in Evanston and the North part of Chicago might show they receive that type of support from these universities.Tutor Mentor Connectionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02140800580077672326noreply@blogger.com
