Let’s work together to address the hidden literacy crisis in PEI.  Research shows that many adults and children are struggling with reading, writing and math.  How can PEI prosper when almost half of working-aged Islanders don’t have the skills needed to thrive in the 21st century? By investing your time or money with us, you are investing in breaking the cycle of low-literacy and poverty.  

Partner with us and help Islanders continue to have access to our free literacy programs.  These programs boost literacy skills, confidence and learning attitudes – all of which are the building blocks to success. 

Let’s work together to help the people of Prince Edward Island reach their full potential, and make PEI a great place to live, work and thrive.

We will make it easy for you to get involved!
