Programs for the Latin Youth in Chicago

[Janaina de Assis]

With the smart tool Program Locator available in the Tutor/Mentor Connection Website, I could find programs that match with my goal during my internship with Cabrini Connections. Volunteers can find many options to search a program that fits with their lives and availability.

My search for programs for the Latin youth brought me the list bellow. I'm calling and writing emails for the responsibles the last two days and I hope to visit the programs soon! I think this is the best way to discover Chicago: by meeting the good citizens and what they do to make this city a better place for the children.

Hi Janiana

I added a workshop/networking meeting for you to connect with these people at the conference on May 29. It's in the 3:15pm time slot. Can you create a Conference workshop event on your site like you did for the fund raiser? You can use that to invite the people you're meeting to attend the conference and meet you in your networking workshop. This is at http://www.tutormentorconference.org/descriptions.asp

Once you read the description on the web site, you can rewrite this and send me any changes. I'd also like you to email me a short bio for the speaker page.
