Our Mandate

Tri-County (Stormont, Dundas & Glengarry) Literacy Council is a community-based, non-profit organization. Our mandate is to enrich both our community and individuals by addressing literacy needs.

To do this, we assess learners, help them set goals and provide necessary help in foundational skills, essential skills and computer skills.

We recruit adult volunteers from the community to assist learners in meeting their personal, employment and social goals. This method of instruction can be one-on-one with a tutor, or in a small group.

Our services are easily accessible and designed for on-going growth and expansion. Progress is monitored by documenting learning outcomes.

Our Goals

•
To promote public awareness of literacy within our community

•
To provide a friendly atmosphere where learners can improve their literacy skills

•
To recruit volunteers from the community to assist learners in meeting their personal, employment and social goals.

•
To provide professional training and support to volunteer tutors

•
To raise the funds necessary to achieve our mandate
