Not a goodbye, but a see you later! We want to send a big congratulations and good luck to volunteer Rachel as she transitions from volunteer tutor at Literacy Chicago to full time medical school student.

In Rachel's words, "The students have become like brothers and sisters to me... as someone in their 20's coming into the world, they have taught me so much about the world and people around me."

Want to make a lasting impact on adults in Chicago like Rachel? Sign up to become a tutor: literacychicago.org/become-a-tutor/

Come for the fun, stay for the impact!
