Most SOS children have lived in five to seven foster homes before arriving at the Village. Their education has been disrupted many times. Tutors and mentors play a critical role with these youngsters. We try to have one volunteer for each of the 80-plus children in our Chicago and Lockport Villages. These dedicated volunteers forge stable, supportive relationships that help children grow into responsible, well-rounded adults. Tutors also can volunteer for group activities such as the Homework Lab.
