The Literacy Programs in London Guide is a two-page resource designed to help residents of all ages find free or low-cost literacy support in their community. It also supports service providers in connecting individuals to organizations that offer relevant programs and services.
Literacy skills are important at every age and impact your ability to learn new skills, build independence, stay healthy, and get a job. At different stages of development, literacy includes reading, writing, verbal communication, digital skills, and numeracy. In this guide, literacy goes beyond traditional definitions to reflect the broad range of skills people need to thrive in their daily lives.
The guide is organized by age group and area of focus, such as early years, youth, adults, digital literacy, and language development. To use it, browse the category that best fits your needs or the needs of someone you are supporting, review the list of relevant organizations, and contact them directly to learn more about the literacy programs they offer.
We consider this a living resource and welcome your input. If you know of an organization offering literacy programming that is not listed, or if you have feedback to help improve the guide, please contact us at cyn [at] london.ca (cyn[at]london[dot]ca) or call 519 661 2489 ext. 5610.
