The Literacy Connection

The Literacy Connection, an affiliate of ProLiteracy America, is a non-profit, community-based 501(c)(3) organization helping individuals acquire fundamental literacy skills and/or learn to read, write, speak and understand English. Our small staff is aided by hundreds of caring volunteer tutors who unselfishly give their time and effort. Since 1983, Literacy Connection programs have helped thousands of area adults and youth acquire the skills they need to realize personal success and become fully functioning members of society. Learners are provided tutoring services free of charge in sixteen northwest suburban Chicago communities: Algonquin, Bartlett, Carpentersville, Cary, Elgin, South Elgin, East Dundee, West Dundee, Gilberts, Hanover Park, Hampshire, Hoffman Estates, Huntley, Lake in the Hills, Streamwood and Schaumburg, Illinois.
