Approximately 50% of the children currently are from the Cabrini Green area. The program is free for students however, the families do have to meet some financial requirements in order to qualify for the free services (live in Cabrini or other subsidized housing, receive free or reduced lunch, etc.)
What is the Cabrini-Green Tutoring Program?
The Cabrini-Green Tutoring Program in Chicago, provides after-school tutoring for over 200 students
in grades one through six. Most of the students live in or around the
Cabrini Green housing project or come from economically disadvantaged
families. Tutoring sessions are held Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday
evenings from 6:10 pm to 7:30pm. Each student is paired with his/her
own volunteer tutor. The program provides a safe, stable learning
environment and individualized attention for the children.
If you know of anyone who may want to register their children in CGTP,
please send them to one of our registration sites or give them our phone number.
