Volunteer

We are currently in primary need of individual volunteer tutors for our Adult Literacy Program. Volunteers must be 18 years of age, have good communication skills, complete a 12-hour training and commit to tutor at least 3 months.

Volunteers are needed primarily Monday – Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Volunteers can make their own schedule between this time frame, as we match students with volunteers who have compatible schedules. The 12-hour training required is conducted monthly on 2 consecutive Saturdays (6 hours each time) by Literacy Works, a training agency that is a Hull House collaborative partner. Check out the Adult Literacy webpage for more information, or contact Joanne Jones at (773) 493-1306 for more information about volunteering at the Parkway Community Center.

Contact Jeanie Pittman at (312) 235-5353 to volunteer as a tutor for the FamilyWorks program. See the FamilyWorks webpage for more information about site locations.

Please consider volunteering at the Lincoln Square and Uptown Family Literacy Program as a tutor. We ask you commit to 4 hours per week (twice a week for two hours), be able to communicate in Spanish and willing to tutor adult English Language Learners. If you are interested please contact Francisco Villalvazo at (773) 561-3500x-214.

We also have opportunities for large groups of volunteers.  Please contact Mark Tisdahl if you are interested in having your company or organization volunteer. 

If you are a senior (55+ years of age) please consider opportunities in our Retired and Senior Volunteer program (RSVP). Volunteer opportunities can be ongoing or short-term/on an emergency basis, and trainings are provided by RSVP sites. Please contact Jeff Nelson at (312) 235-5359 for more information.
