Dominican Literacy Center is a legacy institution of the Adrian Dominican Sisters.
We first opened our doors in August in 1989 with three staff members and five tutors. Within a month, the increase in students was so great that additional tutors/volunteers were quickly sought from the community at large.
Today, as an independent non-profit, we are a staff of 7 dedicated literacy champions and advocates, 200 dedicated volunteer tutors and register over 300 students annually. One-to-one tutoring and small group classes make our program unique and provide individualized attention that makes a positive difference in an adult’s educational experience.
Just two hours of your week can make a big difference. There’s no experience necessary, we’ll give you all the training you need. Plus, as a tutor, you can be sure that your life will be enriched as well
"The ability to read, write, and analyze; the confidence to stand up and demand justice and equality; the qualifications and connections to get your foot in the door and take your seat at the table — all of that starts with education."
