Welcome. The Memphis Literacy Council and Mid South Reads joined forces and have merged into a new organization, Literacy Mid-South.
Literacy Mid-South welcomes the Academy Tutoring Project – a volunteer program that recruits and trains community volunteers to tutor children in five innovative charter schools in Memphis. The program, formerly part of Volunteer Mid-South, is headed by Marilyn Rabinowitz.
