Naperville Bank & Trust recently presented a generous gift of new Lenovo computers to Literacy DuPage, one of Illinois largest volunteer tutor literacy organizations. The donation includes seven laptops and six desktop computers with monitors.
These devices will be provided to lower-income adult learners in DuPage County, who are currently limited to receiving virtual one-to-one tutoring via cellphones.
According to U.S. Census figures, approximately 1.1 million Illinois households do not have computer access, creating a challenge for remote learning.
These donated computers will support instruction for adults who have reached out to Literacy DuPage to improve their English language reading, speaking, comprehension, and writing skills. Communicating effectively and increasing fluency leads to safer, more productive, and richer lives. Volunteer tutors hel
