The 21st annual On the Road to Literacy conference, which will be held on April 21, 2012, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm at the UIC Center for Literacy, 1040 W Harrison, Chicago, IL 60607, brings together the students, teachers and tutors, and administrators of the many literacy programs across Chicago and Illinois who are tackling the roots of low literacy. The conference is presented by Literacy Volunteers of Illinois and the University of Illinois at Chicago Center for Literacy. Over the years, the conference has become a point of reference in surveying the achievements the literacy community has made and the challenges that lie ahead. Over 20 workshops throughout the day address the experiences of tutors, staff and students in their work together. On the Road to Literacy Conference provides valuable training and resources for tutors and students, but it also acts as a forum for discussion between dozens of agencies and exposes more effective ways of achieving shared goals. “This conference serves as an annual reminder that the work we are doing is critical to improving our society,” said Dorothy Miaso, Executive Director of Literacy Volunteers of Illinois. This is an important event for a community that makes up one of Chicago’s greatest social services and educational resources. Anyone can register to attend, whether you are a tutor, a student, or simply interested in the critical work that we do and what else needs to be done.
