One of the most important decisions that the program made was to train community people as tutors and family literacy facilitators. This expanded the network of community people informed about and involved in the program. It also built community capacity around literacy.

In September 2003, the learners at the Community Learning Centre formed a student council and made a commitment to community service. They raised funds for a Halloween extravaganza and transformed the arena into a creative and elaborate haunted house. This event was so popular that long line-ups of children and adults waited to get inside. The learners planned most of this event outside of school hours. They are now planning to sponsor additional community events and volunteer their time to other community projects.

In spring 2002, Ken and the ALBE learners produced a community newspaper, the Deninu Digest. It had an impressive layout, and involved creative writing and photographs. This project took the learners into the community to collect information and to distribute copies of the newspaper when it was finished. Community members responded very positively to this project, since Fort Resolution does not have a community newspaper.
