A2: 826michigan

Hour Detroit magazine’s May issue includes a profile of 826michigan, a writing and tutoring nonprofit that also has a quirky retail shop in downtown Ann Arbor. The article quotes Jim Ottaviani, a volunteer tutor: “I came across it via walking down Liberty Street. I like the fact that it’s a trick because it’s a lot of fun. People like surprises. Once you’re behind the curtain, it’s an open environment where students and tutors learn together and do so in a pretty relaxed, non-judgmental, friendly atmosphere.” [Source]
