The provincial government is investing $21,580 in the Aldergrove Neighbourhood Services Society’s volunteer tutor and outreach program which helps adults improve literacy skills for free.
Langley MLA Mary Polak and Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman made the announcement on Tuesday.
“This is a great demonstration of our province and community organizations working together to provide new opportunities and improve the quality of life for our Langley residents with a low level of literacy,” Coleman said.
The ANSS will receive this funding in partnership with Kwantlen Polytechnic University to support the Langley volunteer tutor and outreach program. The program uses a community-based volunteer tutor model, providing one-on-one tutoring and small group instruction to low level literacy learners.
