Literacy DuPage, Local Nonprofit

Literacy DuPage equips adults in and around DuPage County with essential English and literacy skills to build self-sufficiency and fully participate in their communities—through free, personalized tutoring.

When adult learners improve literacy, they unlock possibilities to shape their future, support themselves and their families, and engage confidently in their community. Literacy isn’t just a skill—it’s a pathway to independence.

Each year, approximately 215 trained volunteers provide one-to-one, learner-centered tutoring to over 275 adults. Learners work on skills that help them read, write, speak, and understand English, navigate healthcare, support their children’s education, enhance employment opportunities, and confidently handle daily life—like calling 911, talking with teachers, or reading to their children.
