We're seeking individuals who would like to tutor in our elementary classrooms or otherwise assist a teacher by working with one or two students at a time, helping them to review and focus on that day's lesson in class, most commonly in reading or in math. We can use volunteers in all of the major academic subject areas, primarily during the morning class periods and up to and including lunchtime. Volunteers may elect to work for two or more class periods, and anywhere from once per week to more days. Glenwood also has a program for having our very youngest students who have difficulty reading, spend lunch with their tutor taking turns reading aloud to each other, a very effective learning technique.
Please feel free to visit our website at www.Glenwoodacademy.org to learn more about our unique residential school and the specialized programs we have to offer to bring deserving students up to and beyond their grade level. Glenwood has been in existence for over 128 years and exists without State or Federal funding support, thanks to many generous large and small donors.

Mission Statement
Mission: Glenwood Academy nurtures and educates at-risk children by inspiring excellence, building character, and strengthening community.
Description
The goal of Glenwood Academy is to eradicate poverty, injustice and inequality through the power of residential education.
With a reputation of excellence for over 130 years, Glenwood Academy (formerly Glenwood School for Boys) is greater Chicago’s only boarding school that offers a safer, nurturing environment for disadvantaged children. Willing and able to learn but constrained by difficult social and economic situations, each year approximately 150 of these children come to Glenwood to live and learn - both in and out of the classroom. Stress factors in these children's lives include students who come from distressed and dangerous neighborhoods, single-parent and low-income families, underperforming schools, and other varying factors that impede growth and development. Here, young minds are challenged, character is built, family relationships are strengthened, and potential is attained. More than just a school, Glenwood is a bright new world of promise for disadvantaged children with the ability and desire to succeed.
