Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is more important than ever to find volunteers to become tutors. All classes are now held in a video conference format. If you, or someone you know, would like to become a “virtual” tutor, you can sign up today!

For more information on their programs or volunteer opportunities; visit their website or call (815) 963-7323.
