The Serve Illinois Commission on Volunteerism and Community Service named Downers Grove resident Kurt Mohr as Volunteer of the Week for March 8, 2021.
Mohr is the quintessence of a volunteer who gives for all the right reasons.
After successfully completing Literacy Volunteers of Illinois required training in September 2019, he started volunteering for the Jump Start tutoring program. He works with incarcerated youth at Illinois Youth Center-Warrenville. Mohr started out committing to 2 hours a week, but he enjoyed the experience so much he then signed on to 4 hours weekly. Now he is serving as an AmeriCorps member, tutoring the youth at IYC-Warrenville 10 hours a week.
