“I'M VERY THANKFUL FOR THE LITERACY COUNCIL.”

“I got a great new job working in an office, doing spreadsheets and entering data in the computer, thanks to the skills I learned at the Literacy Council. If I hadn't taken the training, I really don't think I would have landed the job. The service you provide the community is invaluable. It has helped to change my life! I'm very thankful for the Literacy Council.”

“Going back to school has changed my life. It was the hardest thing I have ever done. I will never forget the first day; I was so scared! I had a hard time reading, and spelling; it made me feel really stupid. The instructor was so patient with me, but I now have my G2 and have read a book from cover to cover. I am now pursuing my GED with help from the Literacy Council. I am so grateful for all they have done to help me.”

“Before I knew about the Literacy Council, I was under the impression that I was not teachable. Once I started coming to classes I learned that I could get the education I was told I couldn't, when I was of school age. I'm very thankful for the Literacy Council.”

“I have learned so much since I have been coming to the Learning Works. The teachers and volunteers are so helpful and understanding. I have upgraded my math, English, and computers, and am still working to get my grade 12 diploma. They are always ready to help you until you understand, and can do it by yourself. I have more confidence in myself now and feel better now than I did before.”
