Mission Statement
Providing adults with basic reading, writing and communication skills so they may participate in their community and reach their fullest potential in life.
Description
We are a volunteer, non-profit organization that provides free tutors to adults in western Wayne County with literacy skills below 9th grade level. The majority of our students have relocated to our area from other countries and are learning English as a second language. We provide 12 hours of comprehensive training for tutors before they are matched with an adult student of their choice.
Our tutors meet with students one-on-one in a public location, at 4 conversation group locations, and in ESL adult education classes.
We have a growing demand for tutors in our community and welcome new tutors and students to contact us.
