Tutor/Mentor Programs and More Places of Worship
There are also Episcopal, Lutheran, Methodist, and Presbyterian churches within the influence of
Reverend Meeks. Each of these locations represent additional sites where congregations can meet to
learn about tutoring and mentoring, and where church leaders can evangelize to get donors to
contribute to the growth of programs. See how you can

Tutor/Mentor Programs and Places of Worship
Besides representing the 15th District, Reverend Meeks is pastor of Salem Baptist Church of Chicago,
a congregation of over 24,000 followers. The Tutor/Mentor Institute document called
"How Faith Communities Can Lead Volunteer Mobilization For Tutor/Mentor Programs",
details how all church leaders "can be delivering sermons on a regular basis, that tie scripture
and service, and point members to tutor/mentor programs that already exist, or to neighborhoods,
where new programs need to be created."

Tutor/Mentor Programs, Hospitals and Universities
In this map, we show Hospitals in the 15th District that could already be working with
the district's few tutor/mentor programs. Universities and Hospitals have important
relationships with their communities, and can work with elected officials to support the
growth of Tutor/Mentor programs
in their districts. For more information, please review the presentation for the
Tutor/Mentor Hospital Connection..

Tutor/Mentor Programs and Failing Schools
Illinois State Senator James Meeks representing the 15th District has been an enormous sparkplug
in the news, stirring controversy which has successfully forced the issues of failing schools
and poverty into the spotlight. He was in the news during the Cubs' (brief) playoff appearance,
when he organized a demonstration for school-funding reform by encircling Wrigley Field with
parents and students during the Cubs' first playoff game. After the news stories appear, our
leaders should be talking about ways citizens can get personally involved by volunteering in
tutoring and mentoring programs. See how you can
