LLCC hosting meeting on volunteer tutoring Oct. 2

LLCC is hosting an information meeting for interested individuals to learn about becoming a volunteer tutor with the college’s adult education program at its Litchfield and Hillsboro locations. The meeting will be held Oct. 2, 5-5:30 p.m. at the Hillsboro Public Library, 420 S. Main St.

The session will provide details on the program, training and requirements. Volunteers are needed to help adults improve their reading, math, English and writing skills.

Volunteers must be at least 18 years old with reading and/or math abilities, but they do not need to have a teaching degree. LLCC will provide all the training and materials the tutors need, including the books tutors will use with the students and a tutoring handbook.

The time commitment can be a minimum of one hour a week (although some volunteer for two or three hours per week), and times are flexible based on each tutor’s availability. Multiple formats are also available, including face-to-face, remote and a combination of the two. Tutors primarily work with students Monday through Friday but can also volunteer for the weekend.

The volunteer tutoring program is made possible through a grant awarded by the Illinois State Library, a division of the office of the Illinois Secretary of State, using funds designated for literacy.

For more information about LLCC Adult Education programming, visit www.llcc.edu/adult-education or call 217-786-2349.

Walk to End Alzheimer’s brown bag lunch event today

Walk to End Alzheimer's logo. Alzheimer's Association.All are welcome to join LLCC’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s team for a fun and engaging lunch. Here’s how it works:

  • Join us today, Sept. 20, at noon in Millennium, Room 2203.
  • Bring a brown bag lunch (feel free to get creative and decorate your bag while also listing any allergies like nuts, gluten, citrus, etc.).
  • When you arrive to the event, add your brown bag lunch to the others on the table and grab a number.
  • Once everyone arrives, each person gets to pick a bag not knowing what is in it. You can either eat what is in your bag, or trade with another person (kind of like elementary school when you traded with your friends).
  • If you feel inclined, donate the money you saved from not going out to lunch that day to a charity. We are biased, but we love LLCC’s Team Loggers supporting the Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s®!

Any questions? Reach out to Leslie Johnson at leslie.johnson@llcc.edu.
