Sadly, 162 adults remain on our waiting list to share their literacy goals with someone who can tutor them.
Can you give just 1-2 hrs/week to help someone achieve their goals? You will impact your life and someone else’s life in a profoundly positive way. Imagine if you or a loved one struggled with literacy or communicating in English. What would life be like? Wouldn’t it be wonderful to know that there are tutors out there who can and want to help?
*Please note on January 10, the first hour will be an introduction to The Literacy Connection and the remaining time is the training. It is just $25 for the book and materials. Training is 12 hours. A second session follows on January, 17.

Mission Statement
The Literacy Connection is dedicated to helping adults acquire fundamental literacy skills by teaching them to read, write, speak and understand English through one-on-one volunteer tutoring and small group instruction in the northwest suburbs of Chicago.
Description
The Literacy Connection, an affiliate of ProLiteracy, is a non-profit, community-based 501(c)(3) organization founded in 1983 by Gail Borden Public Library staff. The organization’s service area is spread throughout 16 northwest Chicago suburban communities: Algonquin, Bartlett, Carpentersville, Cary, Elgin, South Elgin, East Dundee, West Dundee, Gilberts, Hanover Park, Hampshire, Hoffman Estates, Huntley, Lake in the Hills, Streamwood, and Schaumburg located in Cook, Kane and McHenry Counties.
The organization offers learner-centered instruction in settings that meet individual needs. In the Adult Volunteer Literacy Program, the organization provides free literacy and English language tutoring to adults. The twelve-hour tutor training teaches volunteers to help individuals learn to read, write, speak and understand English better. Instruction is offered in any public location or remotely at convenient times. Most learners are tutored at a minimum of four hours each month for at least a one-year commitment.
