Make a difference in the life of a person with a disability with just one hour a week!
Volunteer tutor adults with disabilities in Anixter Center’s Jack Ehrlich Literacy Program!
Over 20 years ago, Anixter Center realized literacy was essential in its efforts to enhance the lives of people with disabilities. To answer that need, Anixter Center created the first and ONLY Chicago area literacy program that focuses on the unique needs of individuals with disabilities. Our curriculum takes literacy and tutoring beyond books and into the lives of its participants. We are always looking for dedicated volunteers to meet with adult learners for one hour each week. Time, days, location is flexible. We accommodate all schedules.
We offer free pre-tutoring training and many continuing training opportunities.
