Literacy DuPage

We train tutors. Tutors change lives.

Literacy DuPage is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that has been committed to offering educational instruction to DuPage County adults since 1972. We have been able to provide this service to over 10,000 adult learners in 30 communities in the county at no cost to the learner or volunteer.

We equip our big-hearted army of tutors to work one-to-one with adults who have little to no ability to understand, speak, read, or write English. We provide our volunteers with the materials, techniques, and confidence that they need to help adults break through language barriers and experience a whole new world of communication and connection.

Our tutors come from a wide range of backgrounds, No prior teaching or foreign language experience is necessary. Tutors incorporate practical, everyday materials, such as a newspaper, map, or job application into their lessons. Tutoring occurs at a time and public location convenient for both tutor and student.

If you wish to literally change the lives of low-literacy adult learners and impact future generations as a volunteer tutor, please visit our website at www.literacydupage.org or call us at 630-942-5210 for more information. We look forward to your participation!
