The Literacy Coalition of Washtenaw County launched its Family Literacy Initiative Campaign!
Family Learning Institute was in attendance during a public event on March 10.
Take a look!
Family Learning Institute is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing low-income students with free tutoring services so that they can catch up to grade level in reading for grades 2-5 in the Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti areas.
In-Person Tutors
Volunteer once a week for one hour. Reading Tutors work one-to-one with an assigned student during the entire school year. All volunteers who work with youth are required to participate in an annual background check. There are additional weekly opportunities to work with small groups of students on other academic topics, such as writing, math, and educational games. FLI tutor training takes place several times each year.

Outreach Programs
The same as our in-person program that takes place at various after-school locations. Our summer Playground Programs are in collaboration with Washtenaw County Parks and Recreation and other local resources. FLI provides academic enrichment services for students in Ypsilanti. The FLI summer focus is to prevent summer learning loss.
