Frontier College is able to fulfill its mission thanks to the generous support of individuals, foundations, corporations and governments; the dedication of thousands of volunteers; and the commitment of Canadians from coast-to-coast-to-coast in the belief that literacy is a right, not a privilege.
We know that low literacy skills are directly linked to poverty, poor health and high unemployment. We also know that literacy is more than just the ability to read and write. It's also about the ability to understand the printed word and to put it to use. It's about strengthening culture, achieving goals, gaining knowledge and recognizing potential. It's about succeeding in today's world.
Forty-two percent of adult Canadians have trouble with everyday tasks that involve reading. That's millions of Canadians who are not reaching their potential. Through a network of thousands of volunteers, Frontier College is helping people realize their potential and seize the opportunities that come their way.
