Literacy Programs
Adult Literacy
The Adult Literacy program is for anyone 19 and older (or not attending public school) to increase their understanding of concepts from English and math to budgeting and shopping to nutrition and parenting terminology. Our Adult Literacy Coordinator can also help you and your child work on homework together!
Our professional and confidential staff will help you reach your goals which may include support for tutoring, English as a Second Language (ESL) services, IT (computer) literacy, numeracy (math), Adult Basic Education (ABE), family literacy, and life skill literacy.
Family Literacy
The Family Literacy program supports parent, grandparent and child’s development through strengthening literacy. Our workshops use play, family connections and fun to engage learners of all ages and levels. Workshops offer opportunities for intergenerational connection, parent groups, child and youth specific groups and more.
Indigenous Literacy
The Indigenous Literacy program provides access to low barrier holistic indigenous literacy support for oral, reading, writing, math and computer use via drop-in, outreach, or by attending workshops.
We can assist with areas such as: budgeting, interview prep, social awareness, health and nutrition, form filling, and navigating advocacy systems.
We can provide advocacy and support by increasing the individual’s understanding of social services and program promoted by our Outreach initiatives.
We also strive to increase a community understanding and awareness of local land, environmental, plant, and animal habitats and knowledge bases, and can do this through hosting a variety of workshops and programs with a focus on traditional and holistic methods: cooking, crafts, handwork, gatherings, foraging and the healing arts.
