Community Literacy Council

Community Literacy Council Our mission is to provide adults in Western Wayne County who have limited English language abilities in developing vital communication skills.

The Plymouth-Canton Community Literacy Council is a volunteer non-profit community organization. The Community Literacy Council provides one-on-one tutoring or small conversation groups to adults, primarily in the Plymouth-Canton area. The tutors are volunteers who are trained to tutor adults in English reading, writing and communication skills. Students and tutors meet in a public location, for approximately 1 ½ to 2 hours a week.

Thank You, Kiwanis Club of Colonial Plymouth!

We are incredibly grateful for the $1,000 donation from the Kiwanis Club of Colonial Plymouth to support our adult English Language Learners.

This generous gift will help cover English language learner registration fees for the coming year, allowing us to remove a financial barrier for adults who are working hard to improve their English skills, support their families, pursue new opportunities, and contribute to our community.

We love saying “yes” to learners and removing obstacles that stand in the way of education and opportunity.

Thank you, Kiwanis Club of Colonial Plymouth, for investing in literacy and in the success of our learners!

We are incredibly grateful to the Dollar General Literacy Foundation for their generous $8,500 grant to support adult literacy instruction.

These funds will directly impact the lives of adult learners by helping improve English proficiency, strengthen functional literacy skills, and increase learners’ ability to participate fully in the workforce, support their families, and engage in the broader community.

Thank you for investing in literacy and helping create brighter futures through education! Dollar General

We’re excited to recognize Juliana Atsumi and Liz Orbits as our Tutors of the Year!

From launching our ESL Conversation Group at Belleville District Library to supporting the JumpStart program each summer, Liz consistently goes above and beyond for learners in our community. She also helped secure a Plymouth Rotary grant that strengthened our Burlington English program—creating even more opportunities for adult learners.

We’re so grateful for her leadership and commitment!

Juliana has stepped into the important role of Tutor Trainer, helping guide and support new volunteers. She also contributes her time each quarter to our CLC newsletter.

Fun fact: Juliana was once an English language learner herself—and now she’s giving back as a tutor. Her journey is a powerful reminder of what’s possible, and we’re so grateful for her leadership and heart for others!

March 2 is Read Across America Day, a day to celebrate our favorite activity. The day was established by the National Education Association (NEA) in 1998 to help get kids excited about reading. The day occurs each year on the birthday of beloved children’s book author Dr. Seuss, so a perfect way to celebrate is to don a Seussian hat and read one his famous tales. On National Read Across America Day, students, teachers, parents, and community members around the nation come together to read books and celebrate the joy of reading — join us!
