A faith that does justice
Loyola alumni will return to the National Museum of Mexican Art in Pilsen to tutor adult learners of English. Students from Poder Learning Center, an agency providing tuition-free classes on Chicago’s Southwest Side, will pair up with volunteers for informal conversations. Using the museum’s stunning collection, alums will invite the ESL students to practice their English language skills by talking about the works of art.
On Chicago’s North Side, volunteers will gather at the Howard Area Community Center (HACC), Rogers Park’s largest social service agency. “Historically, Loyola graduates and students have worked at the center,” says John T. Fitzgerald (A&S ‘65, LAW ‘68), former HACC board member and executive director. Fitzgerald and other NDS volunteers will help with capital improvements at a HACC building on Morse Avenue.
Give back to your community! Join Loyola for the 2009 National Day of Service. As you consider this opportunity, remember: the reward for service rendered is far greater than the effort expended.
