Written by Martha Sprude

(0 votes)

An hour can mean a lot to an incarcer­ated teen! Tutor in reading, writing or basic math skills. Help a student prepare for her GED.

The JumpStart program works with teenage girls at the Illinois Youth Center in Warrenville. We need you! Many girls en­rolled in the school program both want and need extra one-on-one help.

You might help read and discuss a short story or explain how to add fractions. Per­haps help is needed in resume writing or tips on how to interview to get a future job.

You can help teenage girls gain confi­dence and skills that will go with them far into their futures. The need is great. So are the possibilities!

You can tutor during the school day (8:30 AM- 3:30PM) for an hour or two a week. Please contact airdgrlake@ aol.com for further information.

  • VC is Hypocritical Written by Scott Shaw

    I am responding to, and have a question for managing editor, George Safford. Why is it okay for Mr. Safford to insult the Chronicles readers, but it is not okay for us to have an opportunity to properly defend ourselves? Your editorial policy is a disgrace to free and open speech.

  • A Letter to the Editor—And to All Who Knew Joe Voegtle Written by Jeff Carstens

    Joe Voegtle passed away this last week. The President wasn't notified. There won't be a plaque at an Ivy League university. The New York Times didn't carry a single word. But there is a little corner of the universe where, for a time, everything stopped – a little town that could pass for anywhere in the United States; the town where Joe plied his trade, raised a family, and touched the lives of those around him.

  • How Do We Stop the Horn Blowing? Written by Rich and Ellen Kurowski

    Why not do something constructive with the excess railroad funds? How about hiring a lawyer, familiar with dealing with railroad problems, to get the trains to stop blowing their horns?
