The Presentation Lantern Center, in downtown Dubuque, Iowa, is a drop-in center that offers hospitality, educational opportunities and advocacy for women and their children with no fees. Newcomers to the Lantern Center arrive for tutoring in English, for survival skills in a new country or for help with the citizenship test. In addition to tutoring, volunteers assist with some healthcare issues and a variety of literacy skills.
As of July 2009, Presentation Lantern Center, sponsored by the Dubuque Sisters of the Presentation, has welcomed visitors who represent 38 countries (including the U.S.), five continents and over 20 languages. The center begins its eighth year of operation on November 13, 2009.
