Then when you view an area like Engelwood, or Austin, include the total number of kids age 5 to 18 in the area. For instance in East and West Englewood there are more than 20,000 kids, yet the map only shows a few programs, and we know these only serve a small number of kids.<BR/><BR/>Readers need to be thinking "how can I help existing programs become best in class at what they do" and "how can I help new programs grow in areas that are under served, or have no programs serving specific age groups".<BR/><BR/>As Mike creates these maps, we hope others will link to them in their own blogs and outreach, so we increase the number of people who include this thinking in their planning, philanthropy, and volunteerism.<BR/><BR/>Dan Bassill<BR/>Tutor/Mentor ConnectionTutor Mentor Connectionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02140800580077672326noreply@blogger.com
