Returning Citizens
Washtenaw Literacy’s New Pages initiative works with local organizations to provide tutoring to people who are returning to everyday life after being impacted by the justice system. Justice-impacted learners are welcome at all of our tutoring programs, and our tutors are ready to help them pursue their goals.

About New Pages
The New Pages program was originally designed to support returning citizens—anyone who has been incarcerated in the past. Now, we are more deeply incorporating this work with our Community Tutoring to provide more opportunities to help learners pursue their goals. 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, Groundcover News, and Dawn Farm.

Work with a Personal Tutor
Would you like to work with a tutor on your own schedule? 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.
