The adult learners who are registered for the program have come from more than 30 different countries for the opportunity to provide for their families, live in safe neighborhoods, and send their children to good schools. It is estimated that there are 42,000 adults in Kane County who need to improve their English. Literacy Volunteers Fox Valley tutors help about 300 adults annually.
