Our mission is to help children from low-income families acquire the necessary skills in academics and social interaction to move successfully through grades K-12 and into adulthood. We do this by providing after school and summer programs which emphasize literacy and community involvement and use the talents of teachers, volunteer tutors, adult caregivers and a variety of local support services.

A Time for Celebration

It's hard to believe that with only 4 days left of the 2009 school year, a new year is quickly approaching! We, at the GECRC continue to be so very grateful for your many hours of service, kindness, energy and attention you each have offered. Thank you for making this year one we can celebrate!

Our field trip to Open Books in Chicago was a wonderful time to celebrate the significant writing accomplishments each student made over the month of November. We look forward to a continued time of celebration as we look forward to a new semester together. Thanks to each and every volunteer who joined us on Friday evening, your presence was invaluable and we are all so grateful for your willingness to join us.

Please take a look here for some great pictures from the evening!
