Help us bridge the literacy gap in Canada.

To address the urgent literacy gap in our country and empower more individuals and communities with essential reading, writing, and numeracy skills we are launching the 125th anniversary fundraising campaign.

Why Literacy?

Improving literacy improves people’s lives—research shows that people in Canada with higher levels of literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving skills report better health and stronger connections with their communities and society. Literacy upgrading also has a positive impact on higher earnings and job retention.

Volunteers change lives

Each year, our volunteers give thousands of hours to tutoring math, reading, and writing; reading stories; helping with special events; and supporting our book donation program.

From helping children read a favourite book to supporting adults as they work to improve their skills, volunteers are key to creating a culture of literacy in Canada.
