Thirty-one years and growing! 🧡📚 Thank you to the Adrian Dominican Sisters for leaving a legacy of learning in

About a year after literacy centers sponsored by the Adrian Dominican Sisters became independent, nonprofit agencies, they have continued to have an impact on people in Detroit who need assistance in their literacy skills in English.

The Adrian Dominican Sisters founded the Dominican Literacy Center in 1989, the Siena Literacy Center in 1995, and All Saints Literacy Center in 2015 to offer free one-on-one tutoring to adult learners who are developing their English skills. Learners include people for whom English is a second language and native English speakers who want to improve their reading, writing, and speaking skills.

Have you visited our St. Suzanne Cody Rouge Community Resource Center Room 202 classroom lately? You may have noticed our beautiful new projector and screen! Thanks to a generous Catholic Foundation of Michigan grant, we were able to install a high-resolution projector and retractable screen to enhance presentations. In addition to our learners who benefit from this new equipment year-round, we co-facilitated the Stormwater Training Specialist program this summer with St. Suzanne's, Friends of the Rouge, and Sierra Club Michigan Chapter. A few of our very special guest speakers -- Fai Foen from The Greening of Detroit and Jay Biernat from Midtown Detroit, Inc. -- put this equipment to good use! Thank you for investing in impactful programs for communities. 🙏⭐

Special thanks to the teams at N2M Technology and Avio Inc. for your stellar installation 🛠🪜
