Learning never stops, and neither do we.
Through Lend-A-Hand Tutoring, we provide free one-to-one tutoring and mentoring to students from two public charter schools in Chicago: the Montessori School of Englewood and the Betty Shabazz Academy in the Greater Grand Crossing community. The students meet with their tutors every week at the Chicago Bar Association for literacy-focused sessions. More than 80 percent of our volunteers are lawyers.
Lend-A-Hand Tutoring at the CBA is seeking volunteers for our one-to-one tutoring program. Tutors can come on Tuesday evenings from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. at The Chicago Bar Association (321 S. Plymouth Court). The program is sponsored by Lawyers Lend-A-Hand to Youth, but you do NOT have to be a lawyer to participate.

Our 2022 Spring Awards Celebration was a huge success, thanks to all who participated.

We fulfill this mission primarily through two programs. Lend-A-Hand Tutoring at the CBA provides free one-to-one tutoring to students from the Englewood community on the city’s south side.
LLAH also awards financial grants to one-to-one mentoring and tutoring programs in Cook County, Illinois. We also honor outstanding mentoring and tutoring programs each year with the Thomas A. Demetrio Award of Excellence.
