Adult Literacy Programs

Family Literacy Programs

Family Literacy Programs funded through Advanced Education and Technology in 2011/12.

Please note: Every effort is made to keep information current, however, changes do occur over the course of a year with location of programs, telephone and e-mail information. Should you run into difficulty connecting with any of the programs, please call Campus Alberta Connections at 780-427-5603.

The programs are listed below by location of the program service delivery organization. For information on the dates, times and the nature of the family literacy programs in a specific area, we welcome you to contact the appropriate organization. There are a number of family literacy programs offered by Aboriginal organizations that are specifically for Aboriginal families and communities. For your convenience, these are located in a separate listing at the end of this document.
