Teaching adults how to read.

Since 1984 Oakland Literacy Council has delivered free one-on-one tutoring to adult students in order for them to attain thier literacy goals.

The Oakland Literacy Council provides basic literacy and English language instruction to adults in order to facilitate lifelong learning, employment skills and personal well-being.

We envision a future in which Oakland County residents will have the skills, knowledge, and understanding needed to flourish in today's complex and interconnected world. Increased literacy enables students to achieve personal and educational goals, participate in the democratic process, increase workplace productivity, and strengthen family literacy habits, thereby improving the overall quality of life.

Locally, to meet the need for adult literacy instruction, the Council:

recruits and trains volunteers who meet weekly with adult learners to teach reading, writing, spelling and conversational English.

Since the Oakland Literacy Council was formed in 1984, its volunteers have provided more than 527,000 hours of tutoring to more than 7,000 adult students in Oakland County. However great, there is more to be done. Click here to find out how you can help!
