Glen Ellyn Children's Resource Center (GECRC) Summer Program begins on Monday June 15th. With over 100 students from all five D41 schools registered, your students, their classmates and friends are in good hands. GECRC is ready and excited to kick off a summer of academic enrichment and social support!

Volunteers are at the heart of GECRC's mission! They bring a depth of care, experience, and enthusiasm to after school programs; GECRC wouldn’t be the same without them. Unfortunately, due to the Illinois safety protocols currently in place, this summer a limited roster of long standing volunteer tutors will participate in the virtual format of this year’s summer program. For those interested in supporting the students of GECRC this fall, please consider completing the volunteer interest form on the GECRC website at https://www.gecrc.com/volunteer/
