Spotlight Event - WDIV Channel 4 Force 4 Good The Oakland Literacy Council has been a “force” in Oakland County for over 30 years in their pursuit of addressing adult illiteracy. We have worked with thousands of adults in increasing their reading and/or listening levels. We believe our “good” work adds value to our communities by equipping adults with skills and confidence. Our work was recently highlighted as a “Force 4 Good” on WDIV Channel 4 with Chuck Gaidica. Congratulations to our courageous students featured in the segment who shared their stories. And to the tutors who gave selflessly to be a part of these stories. Click to watch the segment Force 4 Good. Become a Student Many people believe that they simply do not possess the skill set or ability to become literate. However, that is not the case. With help from our tutors, everyone has a chance to become literate. Become a Tutor Becoming a tutor is a quick process that has only a few prerequisites. You must be able to read, write, and understand English, complete a 11-hour workshop, and learn about various tutoring strategies. Donate Oakland Literacy Council would not be able to function without the support from our wonderful community members. Donations of both time and money have had a profound impact on our success.
