Mission Statement

Working in the Schools (WITS) is a literacy organization that increases the reading proficiency and learning capacity of low-income and minority students in Chicago Public Schools. WITS recruits and supports dedicated business, government, and community volunteers who deliver measurable and consistent tutoring and mentoring services

Description

By placing and transporting both community individuals and corporate groups into the Chicago Public Schools through 6 literacy programs, WITS strives to cultivate a love of reading and learning while enhancing student possibilities for success. Our simple equation—one adult, one child, one book at a time—continues to produce astounding results.
