- Help a student with a specific learning deficit on that day's lesson in our Learning Resource lab, or
- Read to a student, or listen as they read aloud to you, or
- Use flash cards to help students learn words, multiplication tables, word sounds, etc., or
- Assist younger children with learning the alphabet, colors, numbers and in identifying letters, shapes, rhyming words, etc., or
- S upervise games, and other areas where an extra pair of hands are needed, or
- Help p repare bulletin boards or hands-on teaching materials.
Volunteers may volunteer for a single class period, part of a day, a full day, once per week, twice per week, and so on. We'll do our best to make a good match for you.

About Glenwood Academy

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.
