United for Literacy believes every place can be a learning place. We deliver our programs in schools, community centres, shelters—anywhere we're invited.   

All over Canada—in urban, rural, and remote locations—United for Literacy is there. We work with community partners to determine what is most needed in their region. This includes programs for children, teens, adults, seniors, and families.   

Our free literacy and numeracy programs include:

• After-school homework clubs with reading, writing, and STEM support for kids

• Summer Literacy Camps to keep children learning over the summer

• Reading Tents where kids can develop a love of reading

• Workplace literacy and essential skills programs for adults

• Learning support for adults with developmental disabilities

• Small group tutoring and conversation circles for newcomers

• Online reading support

• High school equivalency preparation and tutoring for youth

• …and many more programs!

Our programs are practical and goal oriented. Some programs are in-person, while others reach people online. Our programs are tailored to people of different ages and life stages. We work to meet the community's priorities and goals. Educators consider our programs to be best-in-class examples of Student-Centred Individualized Learning principles.
