Through cooperation with Technology Center of DuPage, student volunteers provide child care under the supervision of a staff member. District volunteers facilitate the sessions. Still more student and parent volunteers help with registration and guiding participants to the proper classroom. Last year, more than 250 parents attended. The program is supported by the Itasca Bank, which pays for continental breakfast, and the Title IV Safe and Drug Free Schools and Communities grant and an Education to Careers grant, which help cover printing costs.
All speakers donate their time.
