If you have some time to spare, the Waubonsee Community College Adult Literacy Volunteer Project could use your talents. One in five adults in Illinois lacks the skills needed to access or enjoy reading materials. Two million adults are not only disconnected from learning, they are unable to participate fully in the workplace, in their children's education and in society. In the area served by Waubonsee College, an estimated 23,000 immigrants live in households where English is not the primary language.
Volunteers are needed for reading, English as a Second Language and Computer Literacy. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Kathy Turnowchyk, Coordinator of Volunteer Tutors, or Sherry Woodward, Adult Literacy Manager, at 630-801-7900 ext. 4107. They will get you a packet of information and answer any questions you may have.
