Parkdale Project Read, Toronto, ON

Parkdale Project Read is a non-profit, community-based literacy program that operates an adult learning centre in the Parkdale community. We are a member of Community Literacy Ontario and the Metro Toronto Movement for Literacy. At Project Read, we support adults to realize their learning goals by providing free literacy services in a supportive community. We work with English-speaking adults who want to learn to read, write, or use basic math or computer skills. We are dedicated to creating a comfortable and accessible learning environment where students can bring their whole self (body, mind, emotions, spirit) to learning. Project Read believes in a learner-based approach - it is the student who decides how and what they learn. Our trained, volunteer tutors work with individual or groups of learners to help them find the best way to learn. This Employment Ontario program is funded by the Ontario government.
