Organization: The Literacy Foundation

Established in 1989, the Literacy Foundation is a non-profit organization whose mission is to ensure that all adults have access to basic training in reading and writing.

The Literacy Foundation is working to prevent illiteracy and help keep poor kids aged 0-12 in school and at the same time to reach parents who read little and are likely to have difficulty reading and writing.

Projects:

The Gift of Reading: A project to spark an interest in reading amongst families with weak literacy skills.

Reading Day: A day when thousands of children living in poverty across Quebec receive a free, new children's book.
