Neighbors Weekly Volunteering Programs (5 Sessions)

10/5

Open to the public

Neighbors,the Law School's primary community service organization, is providing two weekly volunteering opportunities this year.  Neighbors will be providing tutoring and guidance at:

(1)    Kenwood High School         
What: Kenwood students and high school students from all over Chicago need help with homework, college applications, and scholarship applications. Please participate in weekly tutoring so that these students can be successful in their respective pursuits. 

         
Where: 5015 South Blackstone Avenue, Chicago IL, 60615. Kenwood is only a few blocks from Regents, and is easily accessible fromthe 172 bus.

       
When: Mondays, 5:00-6:00 PM. Volunteers can choose to meet at the law school at 4:30 PM (we will meet by the double doors in front of the law school, near the auditorium, and take the 172
bus over there) or can head straight to the high school on their own if that is more convenient.
