The Learning Circle Literacy Program has received $32,000 from the provincial government to help learners improve their reading and writing skills.
The project is a collaboration between the Prince George Native Friendship Centre and CNC.
As well, the McBride Adult Literacy Program, a project between CNC and the Robson Valley Support Society, is receiving $20,774; the Family Literacy in Valemount program, a project between CNC and the Community Basin Alliance for Literacy, is receiving $10,814; and the Valemount Adult Literacy Program, a project between CNC and the Valemount Learning Society, is receiving $17,600.
All of the projects are being supported through the Community Adult Literacy Program (CALP), an initiative that distributes funding to not-for-profit community groups to offer free literacy training that is easily accessible in local schools, native friendship and community centres.
Projects are tailored to suit the needs of young parents, Aboriginal learners, and other adults in the community, and are delivered by trained volunteers offering one-to-one tutoring or small group classes.
