There is a great need for tutors in Lake County.

Did you know that one in five adults in Illinois, more than 2 million people, are unable to read the information found on the back of a tube of toothpaste? According to United Way of Lake County, 13% of Lake County adults are unable to sign their name or are unable to locate the expiration date on a driver's license. Non-readers come from all walks of life and from every cultural background. They are your neighbors, your co-workers, and your friends.

The greatest need is for volunteers who are able to tutor in Waukegan, North Chicago, or Zion. If you are at least 18 years of age, have graduated from high school or earned a GED, and can commit approximately 3 hours per week to teach basic skills such as reading, writing, math, or speaking English, the Adult Learning Connection wants you as a volunteer!
