helps adults improve their skills in basic reading, basic math, or English as a second language. This program is made possible by volunteers who give their time to improve the quality of life for hundreds of people in our community. They are now hosting trainings
and tutoring sessions via Zoom. During normal times, tutors and learners meet regularly at the Champaign Public Library, The Urbana Free Library, Wesley Food Pantry, Champaign Unit 4 Schools, Immigrant Services of Champaign-Urbana (formerly CU FAIR), Rantoul
Public Library, and many other public places in our community and throughout our region. Tutors might be homemakers, retirees from any profession, college students, working professionals, or former adult learners. Learners are older teens and adults age 17
to 80+, who want to improve their lives and the lives of their families. </span>
