Salt Spring Literacy is a non-profit, volunteer Society dedicated to the enhancement of literacy on Salt Spring Island.

Our current focus is on adult literacy, and we offer volunteer tutors trained to work with adults in one-on-one sessions at no charge. Privacy is assured, and the schedules and desires of the learners will be taken into consideration during the process.

Do you know a friend, a neighbour or a co-worker that could use some assistance? Someone who may not be able to help their children with their homework, has trouble cashing cheques, cannot understand prescription instructions or cannot fill out an application form? If you do, you may gently encourage them to come talk with us. We will do our utmost to make them feel welcome and comfortable, and we will ensure their privacy.

The Society is registered under the BC Societies Act and has been granted charitable status from the Charities Directorate of Canada Revenue Agency.

The Society was founded with the cooperation of Salt Spring Public Library and Continuing Education, and works closely with others in the literacy field including Community Services and School District 64. We gratefully acknowledge the support and funding of LiteracyNow and Legacies 2010 in helping us become established.
