Our Mission
Our mission is to help children from low-income families acquire the necessary skills in academics and social interaction to move successfully through grades K-12 and into adulthood. We do this by providing after school and summer programs which emphasize literacy and community involvement and use the talents of teachers, volunteer tutors, adult caregivers and a variety of local support services.

HOLIDAYS AT GECRC!
This holiday season, we have much to be thankful for at GECRC. So many of you have supported the Glen Ellyn Children's Resource Center in 2011 -- by volunteering your time, by giving financially to support our program, by attending Spellapalooza or the Literary Event.
Thank you. You have made it possible for 65 low-income students in Glen Ellyn to receive critical daily after-school services.
(The above ornaments were made by our students and displayed on our Giving Tree at the recent Literary Event.)
