Barrie Literacy CouncilRegistered

The Barrie Literacy Council assists adults in reaching their goals of independence employment further education and training by helping them improve their literacy skills. Every individual is assessed to identify skills and gaps from which a detailed learning plan is developed. We train volunteers to become skilled tutors who can work one on one with adult students and also offer this training to other community literacy organizations. Small group classes are also offered in the areas of employment soft skills and digital skills both of which are in-person service. Overall in this fiscal year our volunteers including Board members have donated 1 704 hours.
