Changing Lives Through Adult Literacy

Welcome! Our Mission Statement: Believing that literacy is the foundation for a sustainable community, Washtenaw Literacy provides literacy support, free of charge, to adults through a network of trained tutors. It is our vision to eliminate illiteracy in Washtenaw County. Since 1971, we have been empowering adults through improved literacy with in-person and virtual programs. Join us in changing lives and promoting equity in our community.

Office hours: Monday & Wednesday, 9:30 AM - 2:30 PM and Friday, 10:00 AM - 12:30 PM. The office is inside the Ypsilanti District Library at 5577 Whittaker Road.
