Jordan Community Center
with SHPE Tuesdays and Fridays 3-6 [Meet in Parking Lot across from Tech]
with 64 Squares Saturday 9:30-12:30[TBA]
Jordan Community Learning Center recently received funding to serve kindergarten through 3rd graders
who are considered high risk because of their family situation and/or living conditions. This
after school program is one of many in the country supported by the National 21st Century grants.
Jordan's 21st Century Community Learning Center is coordinated by Nina Catalfio, a graduate of
University of Michigan. A major goal of this program is to bring consistency and support to the
lives of young children. At Jordan, volunteers can participate in math activities, gym,
LEGO building, martial arts, story time, and homework help to create an emotionally and
physically stable atmosphere for the kids to grow and learn. Since our emphasis is creating
consistency in the lives of the children, it is preferable that volunteers participate on a weekly
basis. Jordan Community is located 10 minutes from Evanston, at 7414 N. Wilcott Avenue. The Society
of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) site leaders have arranged Tuesday and Friday from 3 to 6
pm as our volunteer days, however, you're more than welcome to schedule other volunteer days during
the week. Also, the 64 Squares (NU Chess Team) site leaders volunteer at Jordan on Wednesdays
where they play chess and other games with 3rd grades.
Site Leaders:

SHPE - Laurie Dominijanni ( l-dominijanni@northwestern.edu )
64 Squares - Alex Chun ( a-chun@northwestern.edu )
