Established in 1994, the Halifax Community Learning Network is a non-profit organization that is one of 30 funded through the Department of Education's Community Learning Initiative (CLI) and a partner in the Nova Scotia School for Adult Learning (NSSAL).
The other service providers in NSSAL are the Nova Scotia Community
College and Adult High Schools.
NSSAL is a recent development that allows adults returning to school
in Nova Scotia to work toward the Nova Scotia High School Graduation
Diploma for Adults at no tuition cost. Eligible adults must be 19
or over, out of school one year or more and not already have a high school
diploma.
HCLN relies heavily on community support in the form of volunteer
tutors and community board members as well as in the area of financial
contributions
from concerned corporate sponsors. All monetary donations go directly
to improving the quality of programming offered by the Network. |
