LITERACY COUNCIL OF DURHAM REGION

The Literacy Council of Durham Region provides adult literacy programs and services to residents of Pickering and across the GTA who struggle with reading, writing, and numeracy skills. Through one-on-one tutoring, small group instruction, and workplace literacy initiatives, the organization helps adults gain the foundational skills needed for employment, further education, and daily life. The council works with community partners to identify learners and connect them to appropriate support, offering flexible scheduling and programs tailored to different learning needs. By removing barriers to literacy, the organization helps adults build confidence, improve job prospects, and participate more fully in their communities.
