Aprendiendo Jugando (Learning while Playing)
Karen Welsh, L.C.P.C.


Aprendiendo Jugando (AJ), is an after-school enrichment program for Hispanic first through fourth-graders at Hawthorn Elementary School in Vernon Hills.

This unique program is designed to help the children improve their English skills and adapt to the American culture.

The goals of the program are to improve the children's school performance and help them develop peer relationships with their young American friends.

AJ counts on high school and adult volunteers to help organize weekly sessions and interact with the children.

People interested in becoming an AJ volunteer should contact Karen Welsh at (847) 367-5991, extension 23, or e-mail her

Aprendiendo Jugando is made possible by the United Way of Lake County, The York Children's Foundation, The Lake County Community Foundation, and the Kraft Employee Fund, a workplace-giving program supported by contributions from Kraft Foods North America, Inc. employees and retirees across the Chicago area.
