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.
