Family Literacy Program
Our Family Literacy Program serves parents and their children during the school year. The program benefits the entire family by improving the English Language and parenting skills of the adults as they gain a better understanding of the expectations of the school system and the community, and learn how to be more engaged in their children’s education and development.
Children are enrolled in Boys & Girls Club and receive homework help, activities, a free meal, and more.
Location: Boys & Girls Club of South Elgin, 735 Martin Drive, South Elgin, IL 60177
