Community-Driven Learning Across the North

United for Literacy has a long history of collaborating with communities across Northern Canada to make literacy learning more accessible to people of all ages. We believe that every workplace, every team, and every individual have the right to the foundational literacies needed to succeed, adapt, and thrive. Our services are flexible and learner-centered, offered both face-to-face and digitally to meet the unique needs of children, youth, and adults.

Testimonials

The Difference It Makes

  • I like being able to attend when it suits my schedule. Just call ahead and if the instructor is not busy he will make you welcome. I am here to better myself. It can increase my chance of getting a job or attending college. My goal is to finish the program and to continue to learn as long as there is someone to help along the way. It gives me a feeling of accomplishment.
