When a parent goes to prison, their children are serving the time with them.

Today my mentee, T.J., told me that in April his father is "finally coming home." After 10 years, his father will be released from prison. T.J. said that this will be the first year that he will be able to remember spending a birthday with his dad.

10 years. 10. Years. 10 years of driving hundreds of miles once every two months just to see the face of his father. 10 years of being told that he is only allowed to embrace his father twice per visit. 10 years of telling his friends and teachers that his father was deployed, or in college, or "away."

10 years of little league games and basketball games and football games without his father cheering from the sideline. 10 years of phone calls cut short due to insufficient funds. 10 years of memories that T.J. could have been building with his father, if it weren't for the bars built between them.

So when I say that children are "doing time" with their incarcerated parents, what I'm really saying is that prison doesn't just exist as a jail cell.

My Lessons of Tutoring

January is National Mentoring Month and today is “I Am A Mentor Day.” SCY Operations Coordinator Kirstin Grabski writes this week’s blog on her personal experience with tutoring and volunteering as sustained investment in youth.

January is a time of the year that is filled with brisk cold air, letting go of the past year’s troubles, and resolutions to do better and be better. And while I have many goals for 2017, I finally have the privilege of working towards them in my personal and professional life.

As a young high school student, I always felt that volunteering was an important part of who I was. I volunteered for a youth sports program that required over 8 hours a week from summer to winter working with elementary school students. I was a part of this team throughout all four years of high school and loved being someone these kids could look up to and have fun with. And as a result, seeing them excel was a feeling I will never grow tired of. I moved away to college and began to adjust to various changes and create my own path in life, but felt like something was missing. I joined a few university groups that allowed me to volunteer, but it wasn’t the same. Several years into my post-graduate career I came across an opportunity I’m so happy that I didn’t pass up.

A friend told me about a tutoring opportunity specific to underserved youth in the City of Chicago with Tutoring Chicago and asked if I would like to join with her. As soon as I started, something felt different from my past experiences. I will admit I have learned firsthand that mentoring is not always a rewarding, selfless, easy thing. It requires patience, compassion, communication and persistence. With my earlier volunteer experience, the students were largely from privileged backgrounds and all had the advantage of being able to participate in an afterschool sports program. The students I work with now experience many more barriers to success, and the struggles and rewards are much different. The experience redefined how I felt about mentoring. Any volunteering is a wonderful thing and mentoring a young person to have a positive impact on their life is certainly something to invest in. But while struggling to get through flashcards and sounding out big words, I realized my own small impact could be bigger than myself.

Many of these students who are behind in reading, writing, and math skills do not have the attention or resources they deserve to be able to excel. We work on other life skills such as how to address an envelope, how to use a map, and other important things. Learning and practicing all of these are not always easy after a full day of school and other home and family circumstances we as tutors may not know about. I am no teacher but I have learned if the time I spend with her creates any sense that she has someone to rely on, talk to or believe in her; I hope that she just might be able to carry that beyond just academics. And if so, that makes all of the tough days much more valuable.

As one of the newest members of Strengthening Chicago’s Youth (SCY), I feel like I am now able to have a positive impact and work on issues of social injustice in both my personal and professional life.

There are many ways to take action in January as National Mentoring Month such as becoming a mentor or tutor through local opportunities using Tutor/Mentor Connection or the Illinois Mentoring Partnership. Another way to join the movement is to recognize the following important National Mentoring Month Dates:

Monday, January 16, 2017 - Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service A day to share in the inspirational words of MLK, Jr. and elevate the spirit of service through volunteerism. 

Tuesday, January 17, 2017 - International Mentoring Day A day of international conversations on social media where photos, video and powerful mentoring stories messages are shared. 

Thursday, January 19, 2017 - #ThankYourMentor Day A day for all who have real life mentoring experiences to thank those who helped them on their path to adulthood and beyond.

“Before, when an adult I didn’t know talked to me, I would either have an attitude or shy away from them. Because of my mentor just talking with me and listening to my frustrations and problems, I am now able to approach adults in a calm, respectful manner.” –Ashley, a junior at MHS
