Jane Addams Adult Learners Program
Tuesdays and Thursdays 5:45 - 8:30 PM
[meet at Foster-Walker Complex]

At Jane Addams, we take part in the Adult Learners Program Services (ALPS). Each volunteer works one on one with an adult, often on reading comprehension or basic math. All of the adult learners are there because they want to be there. Many of them are trying to improve their reading and math skills to pass the GED and get better jobs. A volunteer might spend the 1-1.5 hours we spend there going over a test a learner has taken or teaching the learner new material. If possible, volunteers work with the same learner each time to build a rapport with him/her. Jane Addams is located in Chicago and is a 20-30 minute drive by van away from Northwestern.
