Jane Addams Resource Corporation

I am reviewing this as a person who volunteers here, not as someone taking advantage of their many resources. The JARC offers many things to the public, with one goal being to get people employed. As part of their offerings, they offer seven-​week technical courses for no charge (but there is a suggested donation — and why not, we’re giving a great service!)
I teach a web design course, but there are also classes for using the internet, Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and more. For me personally, JARC is quite far from where I live, but I still think it’s an awesome way to give back. You meet and work with some great people, polish up on some of your own skills, and feel a sense of accomplishment when you hear how many people coming out of JARC end up getting jobs.
I’ve always been looking for some way to volunteer, and I think JARC just works for me. If you’ve ever had a desire to teach and thing you have some specialized skill worth sharing, check this place out.
