Tutors meet with learners once a week through the Peterborough Public Library for an hour from October to April (excluding exam periods and holidays). Tutors focus on helping learners improve literacy-related skills and make reading and writing understandable and enjoyable.
From October to April (excluding exam periods and holidays) a group of volunteers meet with Grade 6, 7, and 8 students at Prince of Wales School to assist students with homework and literacy.
Reading Circle leaders attend a weekly Reading Circle from October to April (excluding exam periods and holidays). They lead and supervise activities at the Circle to make reading an enjoyable experience for a group of young children.
Volunteers visit with elderly people in a retirement/nursing home to help them continue to enjoy reading despite conditions and impairments that might otherwise prevent them from doing so (e.g. failing eyesight).
