Working In the Schools
Working In the Schools (WITS) is the largest provider of literacy enrichment programming and corporate partnerships within Chicago Public Schools, dedicated to supporting both students and teachers through free in-school and after-school mentorship programs. For over 30 years, WITS has focused on empowering Chicago elementary students to develop foundational literacy skills and fostering a love for reading through community engagement and diverse book access.
WITS impacts the lives of over 3,200 students annually by pairing them with dedicated mentors who provide consistent support, contributing to improved reading proficiency and emotional well-being. Through initiatives like granting over 10,000 brand-new culturally specific books each year, WITS addresses the book-ownership gap in low-income families while promoting literacy in the community.
