The purpose of the program is to provide an opportunity for adults to upgrade their reading, writing, or arithmetic skills, or learn English as a second language.

Many people, for a variety of reasons, do not have the literacy skills needed to participate fully in today's economic reality.  Others may have their lives enriched by upgrading their literacy skills in order to engage in some satisfying personal pursuit.

Whatever their personal goals may be, the Adult Literacy Program will help the individual reach them.

A volunteer tutor will be provided to help in the process.

Except for a $10.00 per year registration fee, this service is free of charge, and can be accessed by any adult in the County of Red Deer.

People who have a good grasp of the English language are invited to become volunteer tutors.  Training can be provided for teaching Basic Adult Education and English as a Second language.
