You can help!  The Community Literacy Council, a non-profit organization, needs adult volunteers to help adult English language learners in Western Wayne County who have limited English language abilities.  Most of our tutors work one-on-one with learners to help them develop vital reading, writing, and communication skills.  Tutor training sessions are available three times a year.  Tutors are able to pick their learners and tutor locations although typically tutoring takes place in public libraries.  You too can make a difference in the life of an English language learner!

The Child Safe Michigan Mentoring Program is one of the only successful year-long programs in the state of Michigan that is dedicated primarily to youth with lived foster care experience ages 14-23. Not only do youth with lived foster care experience deal with age-appropriate issues facing youth today, but they also have to face being separated from their biological family, residing in new homes, and attending new schools all while dealing with the abuse and/or neglect that led to their placement in the foster care system.

The Mentoring Program requires at least a one-year commitment where the mentor and mentee meet two to four times per month within the community. Mentors must be at 21 years old. Once someone has decided to take the steps to becoming a mentor, they will be sent a packet of materials including an application and background check authorizations. They will be asked to provide contact information for three personal references who can attest to your character and appropriateness in mentoring a youth. Along with completing the application packet, they will participate in an interview with one of the Mentoring Program staff as a means of learning about their hobbies and interests to best match them with a mentee. This interview also allows an opportunity for them to ask questions they may have about the mentoring experience. As a final step of the application process, they will be invited to attend a six-hour New Mentor Orientation; this training is typically held on a Saturday and is conducted either in-person or virtually every three months.

MiSide is accepting donations for school supplies to support local students for both in-person and virtual learning. Supplies will be distributed through the many services MiSide provides to families.

We are seeking volunteers to join our board of directors and provide support in capacity building, strategic planning, and development. Specifically, we are in need of volunteers about to actively support with grant development in order to diversify funding and uphold our mission.

You are invited to learn more about what we do, who we are and how your skills can support people in our community living with mental illness to achieve fulfilling lives and build positive relationships. We are a 23 year old organization with established connections embarking on our second year as a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit.
