Quebec City Reading Council's mission is to provide literacy resources and services in English that will educate and empower our learning community. Our programming is organized into two main categories: Adult Literacy Services and Family Literacy Services. We support and encourage parents to develop strong literacy skills in their child’s pre-school years. We offer tutoring for adults seeking assistance with Essential Skills such as reading, writing, mathematics and computer skills. We also offer educational opportunities for English-speaking seniors 50+ in our Lifelong Learning Programme in the Québec City area and participate in/organize a number of community events each year. We recruit and train volunteers to deliver customized literacy services to the population at large. Volunteers also support the mission and mandate of the organization through targeted community networking or taking a seat on the QCRC Board of Directors. more... See more text
