2024 marks United for Literacy's 125th anniversary. From the organization’s very beginning, we have worked from the perspective that literacy is a tool for social change and equity. Just as we are always working to create positive change in the lives of our learners, the communities we work in, and Canada as a whole, we also grow and change to demonstrate our “All Welcome” philosophy in action.
Since 2005, our organization has hired and trained local community members to integrate local cultures, languages, and traditions into our programs. Committed to reconciliation, we adopt the United Nations Declaration of Rights of Indigenous Peoples and support the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s Calls to Action.
United for Literacy emphasizes the critical role of literacy in fostering equitable communities and invites everyone to join in their mission of continuous learning and reflection. Learn more about our history and the actions we are taking by visiting "our story" page.
