A resource list for adult literacy tutors

Did you know?
A total of 52% of Atlantic Canadians have problems with everyday reading and writing?

How can you help?
Become a volunteer tutor. Last year at HCLN, more than 200 learners and 160 volunteers participated in our free programs and worked toward goals ranging from improving basic literacy to achieving the GED or High School Diploma for Adults. Tutoring is important work. Adults are now waiting for tutors to help them with reading, writing and math skills. Spare a few hours a week and help change somebody's life. Please call 422-7648 for more information on volunteering as a literacy tutor.

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.
