Jonquil Hotel

Wednesdays, 6:00-8:00 pm
[meet at Foster-Walker Complex lobby]

Jonquil Hotel is a transitional home for 58 families in the Rogers Park neighborhood (just south of Evanston) who are searching for permanent homes. On Wednesday evenings, we meet with some of the kids who live in the building for individual tutoring and homework help. Volunteers will help the kids, who are usually in first or second grade to complete their homework and practice basic math and reading skills. The kids need volunteers' help, patience and encouragement as they work hard to complete their work and learn their lessons. Please help us enrich the Jonquil kids' educational opportunities!

Jonquil Hotel is a transitional home for 58 families in the Rogers Park neighborhood (just south of Evanston) who are searching for permanent homes. On Saturday mornings, we meet to play with the kids who live in and around Jonquil Hotel. Typically there are planned activities followed by a snack. During nice weather we walk to the playground that is across the street and play there. The kids range in age from 6 to 12 and usually there is a group of 10 or more kids. The kids are always really excited to see us!
