Alicia Green introduced Lisa Machesky from the Oakland Literacy Council
Lisa is the executive director of the Oakland Literacy Council. She earned her MBA from OU and her bachelor’s degree from Albion. She was previously a member of the Pontiac Rotary and is a current Birmingham Resident.
The Oakland Literacy Council focuses on Adult Literacy. It was founded in 1983 and currently serves about 225 students weekly and would gladly serve more if she could find the tutors. She shared many facts and stories about adults struggling with reading and stressed the importance of viewing it as an economic issue. She also shared that based on their evidence, a mother’s own reading ability is the single biggest factor in what level their children achieve. She asked that anyone with a spare 2 hours per week contact her about tutoring! Please see attached docs for more infor about this very worthwhile group.
