School on Wheels 1515 West Ogden Avenue LaGrange Park, IL 60526
School on Wheels is a one-on-one mobile literacy program that helps limited English speakers and others with poor literacy skills improve their ability to speak, read and write English. Classes take place on a bus equipped with ten learning stations and a library of learning resources. The barriers that prevent many adults from learning English are lack of money, transportation and childcare. School on Wheels literacy bus removes these barriers by providing FREE tutoring in high-need communities and allowing children to accompany their parents. We train new volunteers several times a year and match each volunteer with his or her own student at one of our seven learning sites in Cook and DuPage counties. Our volunteers have helped more than 3,000 adults since 1993. We offer free computer classes in the spring.
