The Flint & Genesee Literacy Network is seeking volunteer tutors to help adults improve their reading, writing, math, or English language skills.

No teaching or tutoring experience is required! We provide all training and materials, match you with a learner, and offer optional online certification courses.

If you're age 55 or older, you may also qualify for special volunteer incentive programs.

A small commitment can make a life-changing difference for someone in our community.
