Become a Conference Sponsor
Since May 1994, more than 1000 organizations have been connected to each other, and to the Tutor/Mentor Connection as a result of the May and November Conferences. This has been a collective effort of many people from many organizations who want to help tutor/mentor programs reach youth living in poverty and distressed situations.
"This is the premier organization in which you're going to meet other people doing similar work." --Conference Participant
This 2010 conference video shows why others come to the T/MC Conference.
The conference has always been a grassroots event, yet has the potential to
attract more people from business and non-profit sectors. We seek
sponsors from industries who view volunteering and mentoring as a benefit to
their current employees, as well as their future employees and customers.
Become a 2012 conference sponsor, and you can support the continued network-building led
by the Tutor/Mentor Connection. You can help connect youth and volunteers
from many programs and industries to each other and to ideas that
every program can use to mentor more kids from birth to work in a 21st
century career. Your support will
highlight your organization as one that understands the needs of children while
supporting a comprehensive, creative strategy such as
the Tutor/Mentor Connection.
If you would like to discuss "naming rights" and having the conference named after you or your corporation then we'd be more than willing to discuss that. Until we find such a benefactor we seek sponsors who will help us build at the levels below:
