Volunteers sought to tutor Englewood youth

Lawyers Lend-A-Hand is seeking volunteers to tutor students from Englewood. The children are in grades K through 5.

Tutoring will take place on Tuesdays at the Chicago Bar Association from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Children are transported to and from the CBA by school bus. All participants are required to wear masks during tutoring. All volunteers must be vaccinated against COVID-19.

Tutoring will focus on reading and writing skills but, program organizers note, "many of our students also are craving a connection with a caring adult during these chaotic times."

For more information about tutoring opportunities, or to sign up for a training session, email LLAH Executive Director Kathryn McCabe at kmccabe@lawyerslendahand.org.

LLAH was created by the Chicago Bar Association and the Chicago Bar Foundation "in dedication to the lasting memory and generosity" of the late Abraham Lincoln Marovitz, a long-serving federal judge. While LLAH is now a separate 501(c)(3) organization, the LLAH website notes that "the CBA has continued its leadership role in Lawyers Lend-A-Hand to Youth, consistent with the CBA’s historic commitment to community service."
