Do you know someone who needs help with reading, writing or math? Do you need help with things? If so, the Literacy Committee can help. Our dedicated Literacy Outreach Facilitator and Volunteers are happy to connect you with our one on one tutoring, or our Women’s English Conversation Group, or refer you on to another service provider who can help. Or maybe you have some time to spare, a passion for literacy, and are looking to volunteer to help others. Then consider our Tutor Training program.
