Currently studying for his MBA and JD simultaneously at Harvard University, Benjamin Spacapan expects to graduate in May of 2020. Committed to philanthropic efforts, Benjamin Spacapan has volunteered with organizations such as Cabrini Connections, now known as Chicago Tutoring Connection.
Since its founding in 1992, Chicago Tutoring Connection has sought to empower students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds through tutoring and mentoring services. Honored as the area's top tutor/mentor program by the City of Chicago's Department of Family and Support Services, the organization assists students in 7th through 12th grade across the Chicago area.
In order to provide its services free of charge, Chicago Tutoring Connection relies on volunteers who commit to meeting regularly with students. Volunteers work with the students to establish goals for the tutoring sessions, which take place weekly at the Jesse White Community Center.
Individuals who are interested in volunteering must complete a mandatory training for recognition and reporting of child abuse. To fill out an application or learn more about volunteering as a mentor, visit the organization's website at https://myctc.org/.
