Success Story

About the Organization

The Flint and Genesee Literacy Network focuses on literacy measures in the Flint, Michigan area. The Flint community has been managing a variety of challenges for many years: a declining population, lack of access to healthy foods, and cuts to state funding for education. All of these issues have adversely affected community literacy in Flint and Genesee County, leading to troubling outcomes. Coupled with the exacerbating effects of the Flint Water Crisis, our community was forced to respond to the profound outpouring of local and national support for Flint’s children exposed to lead. FGLN partners are now re-emerging on the other side of the crisis, able to deepen our focus on literacy.

What was the situation?

There is a need for fidelity in a calendar scheduling system for Network Staff.

What happened?

As a result staff scheduling was no longer a barrier and became a strength both internally among staff and externally among partners and stakeholders also using the Google Calendar Software.
