A ribbon cutting celebration and open house will be held at the new FLI Doris H. Sperling Learning Center. Please join Sperling family and friends, FLI staff and volunteers, loyal supporters and community leaders to celebrate and tour FLI's Doris H. Sperling Learning Center. The Family Learning Institute, co-founded 20 years ago by Ann Arbor educator and activist Doris Sperling, is a non-profit organization providing free tutoring to elementary school children in Washtenaw County. Following Sperling's vision, for 19 of those 20 years all tutoring took place at the South Industrial site. For the 2018-19 year, FLI partnered with the Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti schools to offer its after-school services. While the off-site program has proved successful, the generosity of the Sperling Friends and Family now enables FLI to return to its original location. This newly reopened and refurbished site is the Sperling family's tribute to their mother, her vision and commitment to the community.
