About New Pages
The New Pages program is designed to support returning citizens—anyone who has been incarcerated in the past. Our welcoming tutors are specially trained to meet your needs.
Some of the ways we can help:
- Setting up email
- Using computers and phones
- Support in reading, writing and math
- Help with applications and forms
This program is funded by the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office and offered in collaboration with community partners such as A Brighter Way, Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office, Fed Up, Michigan Works, and Catholic Social Services.

Work with a Personal Tutor
Would you like to work with a tutor? First, we’ll meet with you to understand your goals, what you like, and how you learn best—and then we will match you with a tutor. Together, you’ll decide when and where you will meet. Typically, learners and tutors in this program commit to working together for 6 months or more. (There may be a waiting list for this program.)
You are Invited to Learning Labs!
Free learning experiences, open to all.
