1+1 services are available to English-speaking adults living in the Estrie region of Quebec. We can work on filling out a form, planning a budget, reading to your kids, improving your spelling, setting goals, or getting online. If 1+1 isn’t your style or you like learning new things with others, we also host community-based activities. These are great opportunities to share and learn new skills with folks in your hometown. We often run family literacy programs in Richmond, Bury, Stanstead, Magog, and Lennoxville. It’s important to note that our services and activities are volunteer run so if you are reading this and thinking you’d like to share some of your skills (teaching, planning, cooking, designing, active listening, etc.) Become a tutor, run an online group, make snacks for one of our events, co-host a pop-up activity, join our board of directors; there are many ways you can be a part of Literacy in Action. If you have gotten this far in our story, we encourage you to get in touch with us! Eager for more info? Let us tell you a bit about our history. Incorporated in 1987, Literacy in Action / Action Alpha is a volunteer nonprofit organization funded by the Quebec government to promote English literacy skill development in the Estrie region of the Eastern Townships in Quebec. We have been exploring the many ways to empower individuals in our community and maximize their potential in ways that benefit themselves and society at large. If you have questions, ideas, goals you’d like us to know about, please contact us. We would love to hear from you.
