Election Day is over, but what's the long-term fate of our democracy? We took to the streets 📣 to spread a message of community-building and civic-mindedness through #tutoring & #mentoring. Will you help us? Visit dctutormentor.org to find out the ways you can help.

I'm really excited that DCTMI is partnering with MENTOR Maryland|DC on a virtual volunteer fair next Wed! Hope you can join us! If everybody helped out as tutors or mentors (or in any community service or civic-minded activity), it would be a very different world for all of us!
